Two Major Central Development Areas Until 2000, the trend was for the majority of the population to move out of the city centre, initially to the areas close to the centre, Storhaug, Våland, Vestre Platå and Kampen, and later to the new development areas. Recently, this trend has reversed to a certain extent and larger housing projects have been built and continue to be built within the town boundary of 1848. This applies particularly to areas where traditional industry was located until the end of the canning era in the 1960s and the establishment of Forus as the new inter-municipality business district. Urban Seafront (<strong>Stavanger</strong> East) In the 1950s, the eastern part of town, together with Hillevåg, had the largest concentration of industry in <strong>Stavanger</strong>. Twenty years later, many of the companies had disappeared or moved. There was a surplus of empty sites, particularly along the waterfront where the canning factories had been located. The reduction in employment and the increased number of empty industrial buildings resulted in the increasingly dilapidated character of the area. In 1999, Urban Seafront (Urban Sjøfront) was introduced as a new concept for the eastern part of town. Prior to this, plans were to continue using the area as a business district with a large element of industrial activity. The Urban Seafront concept proposed transforming the area into a mix TWO MAJOR CENTRAL DEVELOPMENT AREAS 60
of housing, work places, recreation and culture. Many were enthusiastic about the concept and contributed to working towards its implementation. This work has been largely pursued Left: Urban Seafront concept Below: Tou Scene by Urban Sjøfront AS, a non-profit company owned by several landowners in the area. Many elements of the concept from 1999, such as a public promenade along the waterfront and different types of activity zones extending in from the sea, have been included in subsequent plans and projects. Development of the so-called “cultural axis” along Kvitsøygata has progressed furthest. The most important of the zones is undoubtedly centred around Tou Scene, an alternative cultural stage established in the old premises of the Tou Brewery. A zoning plan from 2002 for the southern part of the area stipulates a maximum height of 4-5 floors for buildings in most
