Summary
In the summer of 2020, the new main square in Trondheim was officially opened. The result has been a universally designed gathering place with local slate in the ground and a thousand seats outside the serving areas.
Emphasis has been placed on good orientation, accessibility and wide walkways along and across the square. The many seats are easy to access with a wheelchair. The open square in the middle is arranged for small and large events. In addition, there is a lot of art and fine details to look at. The square has become attractive and accessible to everyone, as a spectator or participant.
