This seminar looks at ongoing projects in Oslo and other cities, discussing what function art can and should have in urban development and how art can contribute to better neighbourhoods.

Art is an indisputable part of urban environments across the world, Oslo no exception. Art is placed in public and private urban spaces, in parks and residential areas, and connected to institutions in society. Whereas art previously had a decorative role, it increasingly contributes to the development of the city.

* The Artist Housing Federation
* Mari F. Sundet / The City of Oslo Art Collection
