Resource scarcity and climate change pose challenges to the cities, as does the population increase and a growing demand for livability and sustainability. The situation creates a global market for innovative solutions for our urban environment. Livable, smart and sustainable are known categories defining qualities connected to envi-ronmental challenges such as population growth and climate change, as well as solutions that make people and businesses thrive. National competitions The present competition is a part of the Nordic Built Cities Challenge. The Nordic Built Cities Challenge consists of six local competitions, in Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Each of these competitions has challenges related to an urban space as the centerpiece of the competition. The competitions offer a challenge to interpret, define and qualify livable, smart and sustainable urban solutions. Nordic Built Cities Challenge Awards The finalists from the local competitions may participate in the Nordic Built Cities Challenge Award. Nordic Innovation will organize this Nordic prize in accordance to the rules pertaining to this organization. Nordic Innovation is an international institution under the Nordic Council of Ministers working to promote cross-border trade and innovation in the Nordic region. The finalists from the local competitions may register for the Nordic Built Cities Challenge Awards if they so wish. For more information about the Nordic Built Cities Challenge Awards, please visit: http://www.nordicbuiltcities.org/thechallenge Nordic Innovation bears the sole responsibility for the Nordic prize, consequently the Agency of Urban Environment bears no responsibility for the prize. The Agency of Urban Environ-ment bears the sole responsibility for “Smart, green and urban – revitalising the transport hub at Trygve Lies plass”, consequently Nordic Innovation bears no responsibility for this competition. The Nordic Built Cities Challenge Awards is not a part of the local competitions. For more information about the Nordic Built Cities Challenge Awards, please visit: www.nordicbuiltcities.org/thechallenge 4 Competition programme Smart, green and urban – revitalising the transport hub at Trygve Lies plass 1 THE NORWEGIAN COMPETITION Trygve Lies plass is a central square situated in the heart of Furuset, a typical suburban area in Oslo. In 2010 the City Council appointed Furuset as Oslos prioritized pilot project for climate friendly urban development, within the 10 year innovation program FutureBuilt. It is to serve as a learning arena where concrete solutions with high degree of innovation and transferability are to be displayed. Furuset is a testbed for the future and is to display how a suburban area can be revitalized to meet today’s needs when both architectural and environmental concerns are taken into consideration. Trygve Lies plass represents one of the places in Furuset in need of upgrading, in order to improve quality of life for the inhabitants and enforce a change towards green mobility. The square of approximately 5200 square meters is today characterized by primarily nonpermeable surfaces, a multilevel garage that covers the larger parts of the square (including surface parking), bus stop and a metro entrance. Apart from a small grass lawn and a few benches for public use, there are few green and urban qualities in the space. At present, Trygve Lies plass does not fulfil its potential to function as a transport hub that fosters green mobility. Furthermore, despite the fact that there are several social activities surrounding the square, such as a shopping centre, social services and sports facilities, the square does not function as an urban space for social interaction. 2 THE CHALLENGE The challenge of this competition is: How can Trygve Lies plass reappear as a square that fosters attractiveness in three parameters; 1. Attractive square, with a physical design that encourages multifunctional use throughout the day and year 2. Attractive green mobility hub that combines green transport means in a manner that is user friendly, efficient, comfortable and safe. 3. Attractive civic space that is socially and economically sustainable The aim of this competition is to stimulate innovative solutions to address this challenge. In this competition we are looking for concrete proposals both for the specific site, and solutions that can be applied in similar situations in other geographical locations. The challenge is further elaborated in the following chapters of this document; Chapter 5 and 9 defines three tasks that are to be answered in the proposals, Chapter 6 explains the context of the challenge, Chapter 7 describes current situation of the square and Appendices 1-4 gives further background information. 5 Competition programme Competition programme Smart, green and urban – revitalising the transport hub at Trygve Lies plass 3 THE TASKS The overall task of this competition is to provide a proposal that addresses the challenge presented above. The challenge is defined through three main tasks. The proposals shall cover all the main tasks, and provide a joint solution to the overall challenge. The main tasks are: Main task 1: Design a square that enhances attractiveness of Furuset for the inhabitants, visitors and investors. Main task 2: Find/develop and describe solutions that releases the potential to function as a transport hub that fosters green mobility Main task 3: Suggest socially and economically sustainable activities and services that encourage local ownership to further develop Trygve Lies plass to a well-functioning civic space. A comprehensive description of the tasks is presented in chapter 8. 6 Competition programme Smart, green and urban – revitalising the transport hub at Trygve Lies plass 4 CONTEXT OF CHALLENGE 4.1 Climate change and growth Cities are major contributors to climate change. This is a challenge that the city of Oslo takes seriously. This is the reason why Oslo has set very ambitious climate goals; the greenhouse gas emissions are to be reduced by 50% by 2030, and the aim is to be fossil free by 2050. Simultaneously, Oslo is facing an extensive population growth; the greater Oslo area is the fastest growing capital in Europe. By 2030 the population is expected to have grown 20 % and reach 1,5 million people. This growth is welcomed, and the city is committed to main-taining high quality of life for its inhabitants in the years to come. However, this growth also represents a major challenge when it comes to pressure on land use and the transport system, in addition to potential growth in greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, the city government has concluded that increases in travelling must be done by public transport, bicycle or by walking. There is a need to further develop the mobility system to be even more efficient, attractive and safe – a holistic approach and innovative solutions are needed to make green transport means the preferred way of travelling. The municipal Master Plan for Oslo is focused on a sustainable growth for the city. One im-portant measure to reach this goal is to further develop the transport hubs, both by higher building density around the hubs and by ensuring well-functioning and attractive transport hubs that prioritize means for green transport. To address the challenge of sustainable growth, Oslo needs efficient, transferable and innovative solutions that radically reduces today’s level of greenhouse gas emissions. The city is committed to the green shift; we need a smarter and more efficient mobility system, a de-velopment in our energy system and a conscious focus in the further development of our city. All major aspects of city development must include the element of reduction of green-house gas emissions. 4.2 Revitalization of the suburbs As most other cities that experienced growth in the post-war period, Oslo is also experiencing a need to revitalize its suburbs, particularly in the Grorud valley. The existing buildings and public places are in need of upgrading, in order to meet current and future needs and demands. In addition, there is also a need to improve living conditions, level of education, employment rate and strengthen social inclusion and participation. 7 Competition programme Competition programme Smart, green and urban – revitalising the transport hub at Trygve Lies plass 4.3FutureBuilt To contribute to a more sustainable city development, the city of Oslo is an active partner in the 10-year innovation programme FutureBuilt (2010-2020). FutureBuilt aims to: –– Complete 50 pilot projects – urban areas and buildings –– Promote national and international showcases –– Stimulate innovation and new practices Furuset is the city of Oslo’s prioritized pilot for sustainable urban development. For more information on FutureBuilt, see futurebuilt.no. 4.4 The Nordic Built Charter The Charter is the foundation of the entire Nordic Built Cities programme. Taking energy, climate, economy and people into account – it is stating ten principles for liveable, smart and sustainable Nordic cities and buildings. In the Norwegian competition the Charter will serve as a guideline and inspiration. For more information about the Charter, please visit: http://nordicbuiltcities.org/thecharter/ 8 Competition programme Smart, green and urban – revitalising the transport hub at Trygve Lies plass 5 DESCRIPTION OF THE CURRENT SITUATION AND URBAN SPACE 5.1 Furuset and Grorud valley 5.1.1 The Grorud valley and the joint action program Groruddalssatsningen Trygve Lies plass and Furuset is located in the district Alna, in the Grorud valley north east of the city centre of Oslo. The Grorud valley is a diverse part of the outskirts of Oslo, with large areas of detached housing, satellite towns, industrial estates and logistics centres. There are large green spaces within the housing areas and along the central river Alna, and in Marka, the protected natural forest areas along the south and north rim of the valley. The valley has the largest percentage of inhabitants with an ethnic minority background in Norway, and issues such as higher unemployment, fewer people that takes higher educa-tion, and by that seclusion from public services, has led to a governmental and municipal joint effort called the Grorud Valley Action Program to tackle the issues, including physical, environmental, social and educational challenges. The effort was started in 2006, and set to conclude in 2016. A continuation of the programme has recently been approved. The main aim of this joint effort is to create sustainable development, provide physical regeneration of public space and green space, better the quality of life and improve liveability in the four districts of the valley as well as to encourage participation in the community. 5.1.2Furuset Furuset is a typical suburban area of Oslo, situated in the Grorud valley within the city boundaries of Oslo, to the north west of the city centre. The satellite town was developed and built by OBOS (Oslo og omegn Bolig- og Sparelag) during the 1970s. The masterplan consisted of approximately 2800 housing units, schools, nurseries, care home, a shopping mall, other commercial properties and public services. Neighbouring Furuset are the residential areas Høybråten and Old Furuset, primarily domi-nated by detached housing. The area is surrounded with large green spaces. However, a highway passes Furuset loading the area with air pollution and noise as well as acting as a barrier to neighbouring communities and «Sør-Marka», a vast forest with established foot-paths. A bicycle and foot bridge connects to Furuset, crossing the main road E6. There are approximately 9000 inhabitants within the satellite town Furuset, comprising 140 different nationalities. The suburb has for some time struggled with a low reputation, relatively low prices on apartments and low degree of private investment. Parts of the building mass and the public spaces are in need of renovation. This has led to the need to create a local action pro-gramme in this area. As part of this plan, The Agency for Planning and Building Services started the work on an area zoning plan in 2009. The regeneration and redevelopment of Trygve Lies plass, is an integral part of this plan. The future Trygve Lies plass differs from the current Trygve Lies plass, see 6.2.1 and 7.2 for details. 9 Competition programme Competition programme Smart, green and urban – revitalising the transport hub at Trygve Lies plass 5.2 Current situation at Trygve Lies plass 5.2.1 Size and topography Surface area: • Current Square 2800 sqm • Current parking garage 2500 sqm The current square and the car parking garage that will be part of the new square sits on a north-faced slope starting at the outside of Furuset Forum at contour +57,5, and sloping down towards Gran skole and Verdensparken to the north. The northern part of the current and future square lies on contour +53. 5.2.2 Current use of the square Trygve Lies plass is the central square on Furuset situated in the heart of Furuset. Through a consultation process with inhabitants at Furuset executed in 2009, Trygve Lies plass was identified as an area where a majority of respondents felt insecure and considered unattrac-tive. 10 Competition programme Smart, green and urban – revitalising the transport hub at Trygve Lies plass Today the square is covered by a multilevel conventional parking garage and nonpermeable surfaces. The square is dominated by cars, local and regional busses and commuters waiting in transit. Surrounding the square is a shopping centre, a public library, a mosque, offices and public services (incl. municipal services, dentist, doctor etc.). Apart from a small grass lawn and a few benches for public use, there are few green and urban qualities in the space and Trygve Lies plass is in need of upgrading, in order to exploit the potential for becoming a liveable urban space that fosters quality of life. The main challenge is the parking area covering the larger part of the square. Several activities in the ar-ea, such as a well visited library, the local ice hockey stadium, an indoor swimming pool and good public transport access, represents the potential of the urban space. The square is well connected to surrounding area through bike lines, however rarely used. Currently the space sees most of its civic activities in the summer. The district council has for the last few years arrange a temporary installation on the square, as an edible garden, and each year they arrange the Furuset festival together with local stakeholders. Most of the activity on the square outside of these events is as a transport hub with both transit and direct travels. Furuset forum, the library, shopping centre and a variety of public and social services generates traffic over the square and to and fro the public transportation. An extensive public hearing process at Furuset concludes that the need to make Trygve Lies plass a liveable space for its citizens is one of the most crucial elements to improve the public spaces in Furuset. There is currently a lack of investment interest in the area, due to relatively low apartment prices. An upgrading of the square will benefit the inhabitants, as well as making the area more attractive for visitors, potential new habitants, businesses and realestate developers. 11 Competition programme Competition programme Smart, green and urban – revitalising the transport hub at Trygve Lies plass 5.2.3 Public transport Furuset is already a transportation hub, with a large amount of daily commuters and travellers. There are several local and regional busses stopping at the square, connecting with the Metro Line and both the metro station as well as the bus stops act as transit points for commuters, often with several minutes of waiting time, Furuset is also the district centre of Alna, and the transport hub receives a large part of its travel in that capacity as well. There are about 3000 boarding on the bus services from Trygve Lies plass every day. 5.2.4Bicycle Despite the fact that several high-quality cycling routes have been established in the area, thus connecting Furuset with other suburbs and the city centre, few people use bike for everyday transport means. 5.2.5Parking The current underground car parking garage spans over four underground halflevels, as well as the surface parking. For further information about the current situation, including parking situation, public transport, nearby buildings and stakeholders, see appendix 1. For photographs of the current situation see appendix 3. 12 Competition programme Smart, green and urban – revitalising the transport hub at Trygve Lies plass 6 FRAMEWORK AND CONDITIONS 6.1 The area zoning plan To revitalize the suburb, a planning process was initiated by the Agency for Planning and Building Services leading to a planning program (2008) and an international planning competition, held in 2009-10. The main aim of the plan is to secure new and attractive urban development through densification. The plan is currently awaiting political resolution. The area zoning plan constitutes the rules and conditions that will apply to all development in the area, and should be considered an essential framework for the competition area and task. Norwegian versions of the Area Zoning Plan with the Zoning Rules, the Design and Access Statement and the Quality Program are available as attachments to this brief. A summary of relevant concepts, rules, guidance and descriptions in English can be found in Appendix 2. 6.2 The competition area The location of the future Trygve Lies plass differs from the location of the current Trygve Lies plass. The competition area is defined in illustration 1 below and refers to lot M and parts of P3, K1, K3 and K6 in the area zoning plan for Furuset. Illustration 2 below shows nearby area including building lots and green spaces. Elements from the area zoning plan relevant for the design of the future Trygve Lies plass are rendered in Appendix 2. Illustration 1: Relationship beween the zoning plan and the competition area. 13 Competition programme Competition programme Smart, green and urban – revitalising the transport hub at Trygve Lies plass Illustration 2: The competition area 14 Competition programme Smart, green and urban – revitalising the transport hub at Trygve Lies plass 6.3 Green mobility centre A key part of the competition is to create a green mobility centre on Trygve Lies plass. The zoning plan allows for car parking to be established under the new square, in the area which is the current parking garage. The following summarizes relevant elements from the area zoning plan with relevance for the mobility centre: 6.3.1Access The green mobility centre shall be accessible by car from either or both Søren Bulls vei (K6) and Bygata (K1). The entrance from Søren Bulls vei (K6) is from lot S4, down a ramp. The entrance from Bygata from either lot S5 or S6 will be connected to the parking garage/mobility centre via an underground ramp. Access to the mobility centre by bicycle shall be made via an own entrance, or made safe from other traffic. This should lead directly to the bicycle facilities of the mobility centre. Bicycle access and internal routes in the mobility centre and parking garage should be prioritised over private cars. Access by foot should be universally accessible, safe and secure and give easy access to the facilities of the mobility centre, as well as the surface of the square and nearby activities, services and public transportation, such as bus stops, the metro station, Furuset Arena, the library, shopping centre, public services, swimming pool and sports facilities. 6.3.2 Parking spaces Through a thorough analysis of the need for parking spaces, the following is established: Minimum 240 parking spaces for car Minimum 250 parking spaces for bicycle All car parking must be non-surface parking. 6.3.3Quality The area zoning plan establishes that a majority of the bicycle parking should be covered, enclosed and lockable and be included in the mobility centre. 15 Competition programme Competition programme Smart, green and urban – revitalising the transport hub at Trygve Lies plass 7 DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN TASKS Main task 1: Design a square that enhances attractiveness of Furuset for the inhabitants, visitors and investors. The design of the square should include the following perspectives: The legacy of Trygve Lie Trygve Lies plass is named after the first Secretary General of the United Nations, Trygve Lie, who was born and raised in Furuset. The current population of Furuset is highly multicultural; 140 nationalities are represented, and 90 % of the population between ages 0-20 have minority background. The revitalized Trygve Lies plass should reflect and enhance the international identity. Trygve Lie was an involved citizen in his local community, and was active in the local sports association, Furuset idrettsforening. This association owns the ice hockey stadium on S4, next to Trygve Lies plass. The current Trygve Lies plass contains a sculpture of Trygve Lie. This sculpture is to remain on the square as an integrated element in the new design. Architectural qualities The design of the square must entail architectural and aesthetic qualities with a high degree of functionality (ref. principle number 5 and 6 of the Nordic Built Charter). The design of the square should include robust details and high degree of resilience in de-sign and finishing, i.e. by use of materials with low carbon emission, both in embodied en-ergy and need for maintenance. Diversity of users The neighbourhoods in close proximity of Trygve Lies plass is characterised by a population of mixed socio-cultural background (both in age groups, ethnicity, occupation, level of income). The square should attract visitors from all neighbouring areas of the square and increase number of visitors. The design of the square should thus facilitate space for a variety of activities and needs, with particular focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment. The design of the square should build on the consultation process described in the report Wonderwood and in Chapter 10 in the area zoning plan (both attached in Appendix 4). In addition, it is important that the square contributes to attract new inhabitants, visitors and investors. The design of the square should reflect both current and future needs. Strengthen local commercial centre It is an aim to increase the use of the services available around Trygve Lies plass (both public, commercial and other services) and make the Furuset centre more resilient towards competition from nearby commercial centres. The design of the square should accommo-date needs of local businesses to further develop and establish attractive new services. 16 Competition programme Smart, green and urban – revitalising the transport hub at Trygve Lies plass Urban meets blue and green The square is to be characterized as a connection between the urban axis of Bygata (K1) and the bluegreen structure of Verdensparken (P2). It must embrace and further develop the already established blue-green zones and visualize how the transition to the urban square can be solved. The urban character of the area is to be strengthened in a way that ensures high aesthetic and functional qualities that contributes to improving quality of life for inhabitants and visitors. The non-permeable surfaces are to be reduced to a minimum, and surface car parking is to be removed. Local creeks should be brought to the surface to constitute both a positive ele-ment in the design as well as ensuring drainage of surface water. Accessibility The square must be accessible for all visitors and inhabitants, by foot, bicycle or public transport. Cars should be prohibited on the square, and all parking is to be underground. Main task 2: Find/develop and describe solutions that releases the potential to function as a transport hub for green mobility The design of the transport hub should include the following elements: From conventional car garage to green mobility centre The existing car garage is to be redesigned to be part of a physical hub for green mobility. The existing building structure of the current parking garage should be reused to the great-est extent possible and be remade as a green mobility centre. The proposals are to visualize how the green mobility centre prioritizes and makes room for lowcarbon transport means (i.e. pedestrians, bicycles, el vehicles, carpooling) in addition to conventional cars (see chapter 8.3.2 for details regarding number of parking spaces). Increase attractiveness of the bicycle as transport means The proposals are to demonstrate how the conditions for bicycle riders can be improved and how the bicycle will be a preferred mode of travel to and from the transport hub, connecting with other green means of transport. The solution should contribute to a shift from car to bicycle on short trips. The proposal should improve the square’s connections to the surrounding biking lanes. The green transport hub must make room for safe, easily accessible and attractive parking facilities for bicycles. It should also include a spectre of bicycle facilities/services, i.e. room for transport bikes, el bikes and rental bikes. Seamless transits between green transport means The various green transport means are to be linked well together, ensuring comfortable, short and efficient transits in all kinds of weather. New entrances to the metro could be suggested. 17 Competition programme Competition programme Smart, green and urban – revitalising the transport hub at Trygve Lies plass Testbed for el busses The design of Trygve Lies plass is to include electrical charging station for terminating busses, the first el buses in Oslo. Smart user-friendly interaction The transport hub could include smart concepts that ensure connectivity and user-friendliness between various services and the transport means available. Main task 3: Suggest socially and economically sustainable activities and services that encourage local ownership to further develop Trygve Lies plass to a well- functioning civic space. In solving this task, principle number 1 of the Nordic Built Charter is essential. The following elements should be addressed: Strengthen Trygve Lies plass as a local service centre It is an aim that inhabitants of Furuset and the surrounding areas to a larger extent exploit the commercial, cultural and public services available by Trygve Lies plass. The economic sustainability of all services is vital to further develop the square as a civic space. The activities and services available at Trygve Lies plass should support and secure the aim of eco-nomic sustainability and strengthen the competitiveness of the local businesses. Reduce barriers for social interaction between the various users Proposals could suggest activities and models for organizing activities that creates a sense of ownership in the local community and the surrounding area. Include aspects of city development A variety of services are already established in close proximity to the square: a library, shopping centre, swimming pool, hockey stadium, parks, playgrounds, dentist, doctor and public services. The square should connect these services. Development over time and temporary activities Suggest how the square can be developed over time, including consultation and involvement from the local population, businesses and other stakeholders. The proposals could also suggest temporary activities. 18 Competition programme Smart, green and urban – revitalising the transport hub at Trygve Lies plass 8 REQUIRED COMPETITION DOCUMENTS 8.1 Stage 1 The first stage will feature limited submitted proposals in order to keep the barrier to participate low.
