How Lambertseter came to be
Lambertseter was built from 1951, mostly up to 1958, and is regarded as Norway’s first satellite town.1 According to the Store Norske Leksikon, the area got 3,311 homes, nearly 60 percent of them two- or three-room apartments of 70–80 m², mostly in blocks of three to four stories.2
The tram arrived in 1957 and became the metro in 1966.3 According to Wikipedia, the Lambertseter, Østensjø and Furuset lines meet at Ensjø station before continuing toward the center.4
The planners stressed access to forest and open land, and large open areas lie east and south of the buildings.5 The population peaked at around 18,000 and was 10,751 in 2025, according to Lokalhistoriewiki.6
