The Oslo Architecture Triennale 2022 closing conference spotlights urban governance and leadership. How can Oslo become a leading example for social and sustainable neighbourhood development? How can we reform decision structures to support more sustainable, socially just, and diverse urban development?

The conference points to the challenge of creating systemic change, taking on the main drivers in contemporary planning that are, arguably, capital and law. Real ambitions for a different direction for our cities, bringing about a genuine green transition and societal change must consider the frameworks of money and decision making.

The half-day conference opens for fundamental questions regarding governance models and decision making and seeks to connect them to hands-on cases and practices in Oslo and Norway.

The conference is targeted public and private decision makers and third sector actors.
