Bakerenga park temporary allotment gardens<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Concept<\/em><\/p>\n Konows gate 40 was an empty lot in a residential area in downtown Oslo. The lot is being rezoned into a park which is a multiannual process. To prevent the lot from being rented out to for example to construction purposes, the Agency for Urban Environment, decided to set up a temporary allotment garden using pallet collars in the spring of 2013.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Result<\/em><\/p>\n 40 citizens now dispose 2 square meter allotments.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Benefits<\/em><\/p>\n The lot which would otherwise be lying fallow as a gravel space now is a lush allotment garden. Allotment gardens are in great demand in Oslo and turning Konows gate 40 into an allotment garden provides 40 allotments for about 2 years or more.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pro and Contra<\/em><\/p>\n Pro:\u00a0 <\/strong>The common critique is that Oslo needs more permanent allotment gardens.<\/p>\n Contra:<\/strong>\u00a0The practicalities of setting up a temporary allotment garden using pallet collars.
