Aspects Opportunities Constraints
Ecological
• Minimizing the regional
ecological footprint of
development.
• Maintaining an ecological
balance between the urban,
suburban & rural.
• Limitations to integration
of the natural
environment.
• Potential for higher
concentrations of
environmental
degradation.
Studying the cases: this list of opportunities and constraints provides an evaluation
scheme (no doubt open to improvements) basically with one question: how do the
cases we study, perform in handling the opportunities and constraints as listed here.
Ad III: Intervention criteria.
Development of a spectrum of intervention criteria for which the list of opportunities
and constraints offers a fundament on which we could build further.
The program content
To effect all these ambitions, a program was drawn up for the Oslo meeting, that
provided the opportunity to refresh the contacts in an informal setting. The Oslo
meeting started Wednesday in the afternoon with personal introductions that were
loosely interrupted by longer presentations of cases of Oslo and short presentations
of related cases from cities in other countries. These presentations enabled all
participants to select a subgroup.
These other-then-Oslo-cases were presented in more detail during the subgroup
session on the second conference day Thursday 7 June. These presentations are
enclosed in the annexes to his report. The persons that volunteered to present one or
more cases that were linked to a topic were the following:
