Nice work, looking at this video, you could probably remake it today with close to 90% accuracy as the most modern builds have been built on lots that wasnt in use these days. Most of these locations are still possible to visit today. Just more Teslas arpund i guess ☺️☺️
Jeg husker faktisk Oslo slik. Jeg har dessuten bodd på Briskeby og gjenkjente flere av husene i denne filmen. Men man snakket aldri om Oslo Vest slik man gjør i dag. Det var ikke en greie.

And if you did, you'd prolly wish you lived even further in the past. Or maybe even the future (as I am under the impression that this was pretty widespread among the youth in the 60s and 70s).
Oslo and the atypical order is what makes the city so natural and fantastic. It's not an overtly planned out regulated European capital. It is the capital of the North. The capital of the forest.
@@zumazuma568And that's a very good thing! Actually, it became much more pedestrian friendly since 2015. Nowadays, people can walk, take public transit, and bike more in Oslo. Elsker! 😄

Modernism has done a lot of damage to this city that once had many more beautiful places.

Ja, men må nok si at mye i Oslo var styggere før i tiden også. Nesten like dårlige boforhold endel steder, som i gamle dager i Englands arbeiderstrøk også (kanskje litt bedre, men ikke mye).
You're probably right, but they could have made more effort to make the newly constructed areas more beautiful. For being such a rich and developed country, the architecture in general looks very poor and underdeveloped. White and gray boxes with hardly any details or colors are the standard. Norway and other countries can do so much better than that! Architecture is also related to living conditions. And in many countries, old and poorly constructed buildings were preserved and renovated to make them suitable for today's standards, without losing the old character. I'm not saying traditional architecture is the answer to everything, but there are so many ways to design beautiful buildings. Yet, boring boxes are the standard. I'm not from Norway btw.
@@leothecat9609 I get the point, but that's not what I mean. You can build beautiful and with a far better living standard as well. Combine these two and you have the solution.

@@markuserikssen I actually agree with you, there are too many of the modern buildings that are too modernist and sort of boring. However. This isn' the US or China, up until very recently, Oslo was always poorer than Copenhagen or Stockholm. And the reason for the somewhat cheap buildings are 1. prices (on both labor and materials) which are way higher than in poor or semi-poor countries, 2. pop. density, which makes it so that property prices are lower and less demanded than in say the US, UK or the Netherlands. 3. history - as late as say 1955, buildings taller than around 5 floors were extremely rare. I think Norwegians back in 1950 would regard a 6 floor building as tall. Also, we're quite 'tight' with Denmark and Denmark barely had anything approaching skyscrapers as late as the year 2000. We also had a bit of the same culture that didn't really like scrapers much. Last but not least, developers just do not seem willing to spend any extra money and just "make a building" with little regard to esthetics, this again comes to prices of many things being high, and also the amount of rules and regulations we have that also increase price. So maybe they don't have money for anything extra. Oh one more last thing: While I agree, I can't say I think everything being built in the UK or US is beautiful either, in fact in a lot of cases it's worse than what gets built in Norway. I don't understand this tendency of considering stuff "s*cking" in Norway, while they admire the UK and the US which in the same thing is WORSE. Like, I've personally seen people diss Norway/Oslo for things/buildings that they 40 years ago would admire in London or New York. WHY? Is it because Norway has low international status or what?
I work as a driver in Oslo and is so nostalgic to see all these areas and how they are now, is so tragic that the muslim immigrants have destroyed such a nice culture
Hatefull and islamophopic comment. I live in Oslo too and have no problem with muslims. They leave peacefully here. They work and pay taxes like the rest. You are just racist and full of hate.

I just randomly clicked this video and was brought images from the street i live in now. Interesting to see how it looked back in the old days.

Does anyone know who is the pianist?
The laugh at 2:41 is more famous to me than those melodies 😅
Interessant film. Rart å se landet og hovedstaden noen få år før oljeeventyret endret alt. Ikke mange forfallene bygninger og bakgårder igjen i dag.
Vi har en masse skinnende og kule bladerunner bygg nå, forfallet begrenser seg heldigvis bare til menneskene
Har ikke like mye med oljen å gjøre som mange tror da, vi lå ganske godt an i forhold til resten av Europa på den tiden også.
