| dc.description.abstract | This thesis investigates how Havnepromenaden -one of the most significant temporary urbanism projects in Oslo- connects the east to the west and the people to nature both physically and socially. It is a qualitative case study that scrutinizes stakeholders' visions, values, and roles, stakeholders' impacts, elements of temporary urbanism, and the social significance of the Harbour Promenade. The thesis is developed based on a triangulation of data-collection techniques, including semi-structured stakeholder interviews and secondary data review. Furthermore, with the help of the back-to-the city, public space in the city, and temporary urbanism theories, this study aims to exhibit the diverse components of temporary urbanism and their effects on Havnepromenaden, stakeholders, and user groups. This thesis highlights how temporary urbanism shapes Harbour Promenade's and Oslo's urban identity by exploring these complex elements. Lastly, key findings indicate that vision, roles, and values drive stakeholders from unique backgrounds to work towards a unified vision to make the Fjord City more inclusive, attractive and welcoming for both local and international users through Havnepromenaden and its temporary elements. | eng |
