Design a future-oriented settlement that safeguards and builds on the coastal and natural qualities found on Nesodden. A center that accommodates a diversity of people, lifestyles and activities and that attracts residents and jobs both today and in the coming century. A hub for local and regional interaction, with viable connecting lines in the immediate area and to the larger region and Oslo in particular.
