Chapter 1. The proceedings Introduction After a heartily welcome on Wednesday 6 June 2001 by Mr. Arne Heilemann Board member of the IFHP, he introduced Mrs. Ellen de Vibe Director of the Department of Business Development and Urban Planning of the Municipality of Oslo for her opening speech. She gave an overview of the planning tasks the Municipality of Oslo faces in the coming ten years. The chairman Huibert A. Haccoû followed up in refreshing the memory on the decisions and commitments the Founding Meeting had produced. He started with the general aims of the IFHP Working Party - Increase awareness of the consequences (both positive and negative) of an intensive multifunctional (mixed) use of space. - The extent to which such projects can contribute to the quality of social, economic, and physical structure of urban and rural areas. - Containment of cities in order to preserve open space nature and valuable landscape. The aims of this Oslo Meeting were to contribute to these general ones, but focused more specifically on the tasks that the Oslo Municipality faces. So the function of the Oslo Meeting was twofold: - for the host; it enables the Oslo colleagues both, professionals and decision makers, to use the gathering of urban expertise as sounding board for their plans, - for the participants; it provides them the unique opportunity to compare, analyse and exchange views on the Oslo – and similar cases- ideas and projects they have to deal with in their own countries and cities. In this way the IFHP Working Party MILU truly becomes an international community of practise. The study visit focused on two vast urban areas: Groruddalen and Bjørvika, the characteristics of which were introduced in the information brochure that was sent to all participants. The program structure explained The programme is structured around 4 major topics - Changing harbour related functions into city related functions and the options a MILU strategy can provide for which the Bjørvika Area was the focus (A). - Building above a railway station, the opportunity, the costs, and how a MILU strategy can help out. Here also the Bjørvika Area was the object of study (B). - Designing the process of commissioning public an private parties, contributing financially and functionally to realise a MILU strategy (C). - What spatial programs can be combined in a MILU strategy and under what circumstances is an intensive monofunctional strategy the only option. When and how multifunctional, when and how intensive monofunctional? (H). 5.
These topics fitted perfectly in the study focus that was chosen in the Founding Meeting of the IFHP Working Party MILU of May 2000 in Amsterdam. It is composed of four “directions”. - Urban areas (A fits in here) - Infrastructure (B can be considered to belong to this category) - Process (C is the perfect match her) - Rural interface (H Groruddalen is brought home here) The aims of the Working Party MILU According to earlier decisions, what the Working Party wants to do is: I. Building a knowledge base of studies, people (experts) discussing cases, do comparative analysis of contexts and develop background theory. II. Develop a general basis for evaluation, encompassing social, structural, ecological and political performance standards. III. Develop intervention criteria not as prescriptions, but with the intention to contribute to a sensitivity checklist of critical considerations. Ad I: Knowledge base. The matrix that was developed for Habiforum, a foundation that has developed a research programme on bases of the knowledge gabs that have to be filled to stimulate the implementation of concepts of multi-functionality (see below).
