Oslo Airport City is a 370-hectare site beside Oslo Airport that aims to be the first energy-positive airport city in the world. It will be powered entirely by renewable energy and have the capacity to sell surplus energy to surrounding buildings, communities and cities. It is a test bed for a technology-driven city, with plans to incorporate driverless electric cars, auto-lighting and smart technology for services. It will have appropriate densities, active frontages and a car-free city centre, underpinned by an integrated infrastructure and sustainability strategy. Mixed-use districts will support the cultural spectrum of the city, and it will be a destination for leisure centred around a public park with a large lake and cycle path. Construction of the first stage is expected in late 2019, with the first building completed in 2022.
