Multiconsult Norge, in collaboration with LINK Arkitektur and WSP, has completed the zoning for Fjordbyen on Lierstranda and detailed zoning for Gilhusbukta east of Fjordbyen.

An area of ​​1.3 square kilometers along Lierstranda is to be developed into a new urban area with 10,000 new homes and 20,000 jobs.

Assignment completion

The development of Fjordbyen on Lierstranda is one of the largest urban development projects in Norway in recent times, and could become a pilot project for sustainable urban development on an international level.

Urban challenges have changed at record speed in just the last 5 years; climate change, the ever-faster technological development, loss of natural diversity and the need to build local communities in new ways are placing new demands on the planning process with greater demands for expertise and interdisciplinary perspectives on urban development. Lierstranda is to become attractive, urban and sustainable – a new fjord town where people, fjord and future meet.

The vision will be anchored in a forward-looking, robust and feasible zoning plan. The most important success factor for the planning work will be to ensure technical and financial feasibility, by building on a solid implementation strategy that safeguards both public and private interests.

Link, WSP and Multiconsult were commissioned to develop the zoning plan for Fjordbyen Lierstranda for EIDOS in January 2019. EIDOS is owned by Lier Municipality, Drammen Port and Bane Nor Eiendom.
