According to Tomas Stokke, director of Haptic: 'This is a unique opportunity to design a new city from the beginning'.

• The city will have plenty of walking space for residents or visitors to make more choices when traveling, not necessarily using motor vehicles.
• The OAC center has absolutely no vehicles. This option can only be feasible by building a lot of walking space.
• The city will deploy a variety of green technologies, including self-driving cars, automatic lights, intelligent waste disposal systems.
• OAC will only use the renewable energy produced by the city to help reduce fossil fuel consumption, along with the costs of transport.
• The city will sell surplus energy to other places. In addition, this energy can also be used to melt ice on aircraft when the weather is too cold, helping to reduce fuel use at airports.
• Inside the OAC, only electric cars are circulated.
• The city will have a friendly, close public transportation system, including dedicated bicycle routes, and a variety of outdoor activities, without electricity.

Although the location chosen to build a sustainable city sounds random, it is actually well suited to a plan for an almost utopian place. It is estimated that the number of employees at Oslo airport will double by 2050. Thus, OAC can become a perfect residence for employees and their families, besides millions. transit visitors.

According to Thor Thoeneie, OAC project executive director: 'We fully believe in the future of the city, the problem is only time'.

Construction activity is expected to begin in 2019, and the city will be completed in 2022. This plan sounds ambitious and in fact, the schedule may change. However, for Norway's commitment to sustainable development, it is not too far away and will soon become a reality.
