The majority of Vigeland’s sculptures in Frogner Park are, in fact, in the district in Ullern, not Frogner. In the photo, a business commuter traverses the park on an e-scooter, with the trees pictured in a blaze of fall colours and a colossal bronze by sculptor Gustav Vigeland at the north end of the transverse corridor of the park’s central axis. The Sculpture “The Clan” is a grouping of 21 figures atop a massive stone lintel and two supporting pillars. Depicted are two protectors flanking a huddled group of young and old. Vigeland Park in Oslo is one of the most visited parks for tourists and locals year-round. A network of paths connects outlying neighbourhoods surrounding the 111-acre park, providing cyclists and pedestrians an intimate connection for daily commutes.

Ullern

Ullern, situated in the city's western periphery, is delineated by the Lysaker River to the west and Frognerelva to the east with many natural spaces and convenient access to the fjord and river. Here, you can can fish for trout and salmon in the city. The municipal plan "Oslo towards 2030" (kommuneplanen Oslo mot 2030) further promotes these "blue-green" aspects of the district by reducing traffic and surface parking.

 The urbanization of Ullern traces its origins back to the 19th century, emerging alongside the industrial enterprises situated along the river. The district has many single-family villa houses and some terrace and block housing from the post-war period. There are also many denser housing developments, especially in the Skøyen area in the east and elsewhere in the district.  

 Already underway is Fornebubanen, the most significant subway development in the capital area in many decades. The immanent changes for development are raising fundamental questions related to the governance of public land use. Ullern will have new connections with the development of the metro, providing hubs to thousands of new office spaces and homes. Municipal planning incorporates this major infrastructure project with reduced noise and air pollution measures and increased stretches of footpaths and cycle paths; it promotes a coherent urban structure along the river and to the waterfront, expanding the mixed-use character of the district with workplaces, recreation and housing. Plans reinforce strategic densification of development around transportation hubs with enhanced connections to the natural areas and fjord and Bestumkilen Bay.
