The Fjord City (

Development of the Tjuvholmen commenced in 2008. This is a mixed residential and commercial area, and home to the Norwegian National Academy of Ballet.

Filipstad, a 32 hectares (79 acres) container port, will receive a 5 hectares (12 acres) park, and 450,000 square metres (4,800,000 sq ft) of buildings. 50% of the area will be housing, providing 2,200 apartments.

Vippetangen and Akershusstranda will receive little renewal, since the area features the national monument of Akershus Fortress.

Sørengautstikkeren, Loenga, and Grønlia were part of the port and railway infrastructure. Grønlia and Sørenga will lose the port facilities, and will mainly be zoned as residential areas. Loenga will retain some railway infrastructure.

Kongshavn, Sjursøya, Ormsund, and Bekkelaget were previously planned as part of the Fjord City, but have been removed from the plans and will continue to be part of the port.
