New American Embassy in OsloAfter 9/11 increasing concerns, shared by Embassy staff and Oslo citizens, jump-started the search for a new location. Plans were eventually drawn up to move the building to Huseby, a wooded neighborhood a few kilometers outside the city center. Local residents, concerend that the development and increased traffic would harm their neighborhood, sued the Norweigan government and the Oslo local government, charging the approval had been given without making an appropriate impact study. The celebration shown in the picture above is the celebration of the new American Embassy built in Oslo, after the court case involved was won by the Norway government.
