== Rationale: Why have you chosen this case for the landscape and democracy seminar? ==

The municipal sector plan for the area Grefsen, describing the development of Oslo towards 2030, in Oslo approved big changes in the area without the local municipality taking notice of it. A local newspaper wrote about it after it was already decided, which lead to a big conflict and strong reactions from the local municipality. The reactions are regarding the massive changes, for instance that it will be possible to build 12 stories high, but also regarding the "quiet" decision maiking, which is my focus.

Oslo’s population is growing very fast and both local and national governments are under a lot of pressure as the housing marked is not keeping up the speed with building new homes, and goals for lower greenhouse gases should be reached. Because of this, like in most other big cities, there’s a solid focus on building new residental areas as taller apartment blocks around public transport nodes. Grefsen station is such a transport node, and the housing around it consists of single houses with big gardens. Such an area has been reallocated into a much denser city area, which most would agree is necessary, but it’s been done without any involvement of local municipality. Local politicians has also missed out on the decisions that has been made, which is a huge mistake – but also says something about how hard it is to keep up with what’s happening in our own neighbourhoods.

There’s requirements by law to send out suggestions for such decisions for consultation, and people have a chance to have an opinion. Local politicians and home owners in the area have had such chance, otherwise the decision would have been invalid. But it’s the way it has (not) been communicated that is the big challenge – it’s clear that no one wanted any opinions from locals, and have done only what is required, but not paying attention to why it’s required to gather information from those affected by the decision.
�
These kind of challenges are very important for me to understand and work with. It's a very important aspect of my city and my landscape education, because densification is a very central part of the future of Oslo and any other city, and participation is very important in the process of densification and transformation of existing housing areas. The challenge also rises the questions about conservation versus renewal.

At the same time, the situation is difficult because these densification processes are necessary, but extremely unpopular. So if there would have been a more including decision making process, and the opinions coming out of this should be listened to and implemented, such low densified housing areas would keep existing in central transport nodes, and the goals for Oslo would perhaps not be reached. But I think even the people who live in this very area know this, and I’m absolutely certain that there might have been a better solution to the problem than keeping the whole process a secret until it’s too late.

== Reflection ==
There are to aspects that are highly relevant for change:
1. inforamtion
2. involvation

1: INFOMATION
Today, all those with knowledge on the subject who is interviewed by journalists etc. after this conflict, for example in the mentioned debate or in the newspapers, say that the documents are too complicated for most people to understand. This is non-democratic, and the standard for such documents should be changed, and additional information should always follow: a "translated" and less complicated version, that everyone should be able to read, including people with little education and youth.

2. INVOLVATION
Not only should the documents be easier to read, but governments and other powerholders should actively search for involvment and opinions by the citizens, and value people who would like to contribute with their opinion, instead of seing them as a barrier on the way to their goal. Local information is of high value for building projects, and local voices and opinions are of high value for our democracy.

=== What could be a starting point for democractically-based change? ===
*''Please add approx. 150 words in essay style''

There are several things I would like to suggest as focus areas for democratically-based change:

It's important to continue the debate started by the case at Grefsen. Local and national governments should reflect on how this was possible, what caused thie issues and how this conflict could have been avvoided.

Documents describing plans and changes like this should be simplified, and information stream about these documents and processes should reach out to citizens to a greater extent, for example in school.

As mentioned, there should also be a general interest among developers and politicians to include local citizens in decision making – not only making it possible for them to contribute, but actually actively consulting them.

AS PRESENTED IN MY SLIDES, I SUGGEST FOCUSING ON 2 LEVELS: INFORMATION AND INVOLVATION.

1: INFORMATION
Today, all those with knowledge on the subject who is interviewed by journalists etc. after this conflict, for example in the mentioned debate or in the newspapers, say that the documents are too complicated for most people to understand. This is non-democratic, and the standard for such documents should be changed, and additional information should always follow: a “translated” and less complicated version, that everyone should be able to read, including people with little education and youth.

2: INVOLVATION
Not only should the documents be easier to read, but governments and other powerholders should actively search for involvment by the citiznes, and value people who would like to contribute with their opinion, instead of seing them as a barrier on the way to their goal. Local information is of high value for building projects, and local voices and opinions are of high value for our democracy.

It's a very important aspect of my city and my landscape education, because densification is a very central part of the future of Oslo and any other city, and participation is very important in the process of densification and transformation of existing housing areas. The challenge also rises the questions about conservation versus renewal.

At the same time, the situation is difficult because these densification processes are necessary, but extremely unpopular. So if there would have been a more including decision making process, and the opinions coming out of this should be listened to and implemented, such low densified housing areas would keep existing in central transport nodes, and the goals for Oslo would perhaps not be reached. But I think even the people who live in this very area know this, and I’m absolutely certain that there might have been a better solution to the problem than keeping the whole process a secret until it’s too late.

There are to aspects that are highly relevant for change:
1. inforamtion
2. involvation

1: INFOMATION
Today, all those with knowledge on the subject who is interviewed by journalists etc. after this conflict, for example in the mentioned debate or in the newspapers, say that the documents are too complicated for most people to understand. This is non-democratic, and the standard for such documents should be changed, and additional information should always follow: a "translated" and less complicated version, that everyone should be able to read, including people with little education and youth.

2. INVOLVATION
Not only should the documents be easier to read, but governments and other powerholders should actively search for involvment and opinions by the citizens, and value people who would like to contribute with their opinion, instead of seing them as a barrier on the way to their goal. Local information is of high value for building projects, and local voices and opinions are of high value for our democracy.

=== What could be a starting point for democractically-based change? ===
*''Please add approx. 150 words in essay style''

There are several things I would like to suggest as focus areas for democratically-based change:

It's important to continue the debate started by the case at Grefsen. Local and national governments should reflect on how this was possible, what caused thie issues and how this conflict could have been avvoided.

Documents describing plans and changes like this should be simplified, and information stream about these documents and processes should reach out to citizens to a greater extent, for example in school.

As mentioned, there should also be a general interest among developers and politicians to include local citizens in decision making – not only making it possible for them to contribute, but actually actively consulting them.

AS PRESENTED IN MY SLIDES, I SUGGEST FOCUSING ON 2 LEVELS: INFORMATION AND INVOLVATION.

1: INFORMATION

2: INVOLVATION
Not only should the documents be easier to read, but governments and other powerholders should actively search for involvment by the citiznes, and value people who would like to contribute with their opinion, instead of seing them as a barrier on the way to their goal. Local information is of high value for building projects, and local voices and opinions are of high value for our democracy.

== Rationale: Why have you chosen this case for the landscape and democracy seminar? ==

The municipal sector plan for the area Grefsen, describing the development of Oslo towards 2030, in Oslo approved big changes in the area without the local municipality taking notice of it. A local newspaper wrote about it after it was already decided, which lead to a big conflict and strong reactions from the local municipality. The reactions are regarding the massive changes, for instance that it will be possible to build 12 stories high, but also regarding the "quiet" decision maiking, which is my focus.

Oslo’s population is growing very fast and both local and national governments are under a lot of pressure as the housing marked is not keeping up the speed with building new homes, and goals for lower greenhouse gases should be reached. Because of this, like in most other big cities, there’s a solid focus on building new residental areas as taller apartment blocks around public transport nodes. Grefsen station is such a transport node, and the housing around it consists of single houses with big gardens. Such an area has been reallocated into a much denser city area, which most would agree is necessary, but it’s been done without any involvement of local municipality. Local politicians has also missed out on the decisions that has been made, which is a huge mistake – but also says something about how hard it is to keep up with what’s happening in our own neighbourhoods.

There’s requirements by law to send out suggestions for such decisions for consultation, and people have a chance to have an opinion. Local politicians and home owners in the area have had such chance, otherwise the decision would have been invalid. But it’s the way it has (not) been communicated that is the big challenge – it’s clear that no one wanted any opinions from locals, and have done only what is required, but not paying attention to why it’s required to gather information from those affected by the decision.

1: INFOMATION
Today, all those with knowledge on the subject who is interviewed by journalists etc. after this conflict, for example in the mentioned debate or in the newspapers, say that the documents are too complicated for most people to understand. This is non-democratic, and the standard for such documents should be changed, and additional information should always follow: a "translated" and less complicated version, that everyone should be able to read, including people with little education and youth.

2. INVOLVATION
Not only should the documents be easier to read, but governments and other powerholders should actively search for involvment and opinions by the citizens, and value people who would like to contribute with their opinion, instead of seing them as a barrier on the way to their goal. Local information is of high value for building projects, and local voices and opinions are of high value for our democracy.

=== What could be a starting point for democractically-based change? ===
*''Please add approx. 150 words in essay style''

There are several things I would like to suggest as focus areas for democratically-based change:

It's important to continue the debate started by the case at Grefsen. Local and national governments should reflect on how this was possible, what caused thie issues and how this conflict could have been avvoided.

Documents describing plans and changes like this should be simplified, and information stream about these documents and processes should reach out to citizens to a greater extent, for example in school.

As mentioned, there should also be a general interest among developers and politicians to include local citizens in decision making – not only making it possible for them to contribute, but actually actively consulting them.

Kjerstib: /* What are the major challenges for changing the situation? */

== Rationale: Why have you chosen this case for the landscape and democracy seminar? ==

The municipal sector plan for the area Grefsen, describing the development of Oslo towards 2030, in Oslo approved big changes in the area without the local municipality taking notice of it. A local newspaper wrote about it after it was already decided, which lead to a big conflict and strong reactions from the local municipality. The reactions are regarding the massive changes, for instance that it will be possible to build 12 stories high, but also regarding the "quiet" decision maiking, which is my focus.

Oslo’s population is growing very fast and both local and national governments are under a lot of pressure as the housing marked is not keeping up the speed with building new homes, and goals for lower greenhouse gases should be reached. Because of this, like in most other big cities, there’s a solid focus on building new residental areas as taller apartment blocks around public transport nodes. Grefsen station is such a transport node, and the housing around it consists of single houses with big gardens. Such an area has been reallocated into a much denser city area, which most would agree is necessary, but it’s been done without any involvement of local municipality. Local politicians has also missed out on the decisions that has been made, which is a huge mistake – but also says something about how hard it is to keep up with what’s happening in our own neighbourhoods.

There’s requirements by law to send out suggestions for such decisions for consultation, and people have a chance to have an opinion. Local politicians and home owners in the area have had such chance, otherwise the decision would have been invalid. But it’s the way it has (not) been communicated that is the big challenge – it’s clear that no one wanted any opinions from locals, and have done only what is required, but not paying attention to why it’s required to gather information from those affected by the decision.
�
These kind of challenges are very important for me to understand and work with. It's a very important aspect of my city and my landscape education, because densification is a very central part of the future of Oslo and any other city, and participation is very important in the process of densification and transformation of existing housing areas. The challenge also rises the questions about conservation versus renewal.

At the same time, the situation is difficult because these densification processes are necessary, but extremely unpopular. So if there would have been a more including decision making process, and the opinions coming out of this should be listened to and implemented, such low densified housing areas would keep existing in central transport nodes, and the goals for Oslo would perhaps not be reached. But I think even the people who live in this very area know this, and I’m absolutely certain that there might have been a better solution to the problem than keeping the whole process a secret until it’s too late.

=== Reflections ===
''Please write a 250 words text reflecting on the following questions, you can also take ideas from your group members into account''
*How and why did the symbols you identify appear in your landscape?
*Did their meaning change along with socio-political, economic, environmental or cultural changes in your region, or country?
*What do these symbols mean to you today? Are they meaningful to more than just one cultural group? Are they shared across cultures?

''The symbol is human made, with high presicion and classical aesthetics. It's in the middle of a popular and busy square. It's very big, and attrackts lots of attention. It's made for decoration and usage - it's nice to look at, but people are also sitting on it.

The reason why I chose this symbol, is because I read an article about it, and this changed my view on items like this in a community. The article was about the square and different groups of people who used different parts of the square as meeting places. One group of elderly people used this monument as a meeting place almost every day of the year. Many of them had worked at sea, and identified strongly with the monument. At some point the area around it was closed off because of renovation, and the article described how these people where cut off from their daily social gathering, and how this effected their lives in a negative way, and how they struggled with suddenly having no place to meet old and new friends.

This story made me realize how important such monuments can be for identity, and for the social life. It's also a good place to hang out for everyone, not just those who directly identify with the theme of the monument (seafarers, etc.) ''

=== Reflections ===

''During the Middle Age was customary to build towers in Bologna as a demostration of power and wealth by the most important families. The two towers depicted belonged to two different families, who have given them the names which we know them. The hightest one is over 100 meters, in the historic center is the tallest building, there is indeed the rule that it's not possible to build anything higter in the area. Thanks to this feature the two towers lend themselves as the perfect point of reference.''

=== Reflections ===
''Please write a 250 words text reflecting on the following questions, you can also take ideas from your group members into account''
*How and why did the symbols you identify appear in your landscape?
*Did their meaning change along with socio-political, economic, environmental or cultural changes in your region, or country?
*What do these symbols mean to you today? Are they meaningful to more than just one cultural group? Are they shared across cultures?

''The symbol is human made, with high presicion and classical aesthetics. It's in the middle of a popular and busy square. It's very big, and attrackts lots of attention. It's made for decoration and usage - it's nice to look at, but people are also sitting on it.

The reason why I chose this symbol, is because I read an article about it, and this changed my view on items like this in a community. The article was about the square and different groups of people who used different parts of the square as meeting places. One group of elderly people used this monument as a meeting place almost every day of the year. Many of them had worked at sea, and identified strongly with the monument. At some point the area around it was closed off because of renovation, and the article described how these people where cut off from their daily social gathering, and how this effected their lives in a negative way, and how they struggled with suddenly having no place to meet old and new friends.

This story made me realize how important such monuments can be for identity, and for the social life. It's also a good place to hang out for everyone, not just those who directly identify with the theme of the monument (seafarers, etc.) ''
