Green Oslo Project

This semester, I took a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Course at the University of Oslo. Our final project was to focus on an aspect of the city that was connected to the environment in some way, be that open green space, public transportation, or recycling stations. Our group decided to look at the city bikes program (which I introduced to you earlier) and the accessibility of students to the bikes. After too much time in front of the computer, here is the final product!

We concluded that the density in the city center was great, but as you travel further out, the accessibility is much worse. In fact, two of the largest universities in Oslo, UiO and BI, were outside of the 15 minute walking buffer. We proposed five more sites for the city bike program to place bike stations:
