master plan. Jåttåvågen was to be developed as:
- A modern area for high technological and internationally
orientated businesses (5 000 – 8 000 work places)
- A futuristic and attractive housing area (min. 1 500 houses)
- A pilot project for high density and ecofriendly development
- A recreational area by the sea and a valuable link in
continuous green areas
- An area of high architectural quality, a meeting place for
the district and a dynamo for the region.
The winners of the competition were engaged to prepare the
master plan, with Lund Hagem as main consultant and Team
Yoto–70 grader nord, as contributor.
The “leaning tower” will be an important element in the main
axis between Jåttånuten and the Ryfylke mountains. A central
public space will have room for large events.

A new stadium for the Viking football club and a district commercial
centre were built early on. These have been important
generators for development of the area. This, together with the
deliberate focus on public transport with a new railway station
on the dual-track railway, distinguishes Jåttåvågen from Tjensvoll.
The size and type of dwellings is varied, as at Tjensvoll,
but with no detached houses and a large proportion of flats in
tower blocks.
