Join Laboratory for Urban Boundaries on a walk along Torshovbekken, through a ravine landscape shaped by water and marine clay over thousands of years. Today, the ravine is partly hidden, altered and built over, but traces of it can still be found.
Through a series of stops, we explore how the landscape has shaped the city—and how the city has shaped the landscape. Together with voices from the municipality, civil society and the arts, the walk considers the ravine as both natural and cultural history.
How can we take better care of these landscapes in the face of climate change, flooding, landslide risk and continued urban development? The walk invites us to see Oslo anew, through the nature that continues to move beneath the city.
The walk lasts approximately 1.5 hours.
Meeting point: Sofienberg Church, Wednesday 23 September at 15:00.
