Since the end of the 20th century, the dominating urban philosophy has
been to give the street back to pedestrians and also to reveal the city’s
heritage. In 2001, the Oslo Council held a competition to renew Sankt
Olavs Plass. The winners, ACK architects, proposed a shared space, unregulated
for cars to reduce traffic. This relates to much earlier origins for
Sankt Olavs Plass’ planning…
The Oslo Linstow’s Plan
In 1838, Linstow proposed a plan to connect the royal palace to the city.
The plan follows a Baroque urban design with the palace as a central
point. Within this St Olav’s gate forms a major diagonal axis leading from
the palace towards Hammersborg heights. The construction of the street
between the royal palace and Pilestredet Gate in 1841, was the first step of
this axis’s development.
