Talk:Greater Oslo Region

Great confusion
The difference between Greater Oslo and the Greater Oslo Region is highly tenuous. I have lived in Oslo all my life and I would strongly gainsay the present linking of Stor-Oslo with the Greater Oslo Region, as opposed to Greater Oslo no matter how the Norwegian bokmål Wikipedia has decided to define these entities. On that wiki Greater Oslo is termed Tettstedet Oslo which can be nothing other than a bureaucratic label used by nobody whatsoever outside local and state government. There should be some discussion of the use of these terms in the context presented here. __meco (talk) 04:05, 24 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Tettstedet Oslo is Oslos urban area – not the metropolitan area. These are different things. 51.175.194.213 (talk) 18:39, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Size of Greater Oslo

 * FYI: Greater Oslo takes in a huge amount of land which is similar to Greater Dublin.


 * Greater Oslo = 8,900 km2; population 1.2m
 * Greater Dublin = 6,900km2; population 1.7m —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.71.252.193 (talk) 12:16, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

article should be deleted
the greater oslo area doesnt exist, it it just a company name. the way thing work in norway is that everything that is part of oslo is a part of the oslo country. therefore this article shouldnt even have existed in the first place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.208.75.65 (talk) 20:43, 26 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Of course you're quite wrong. Norway is not any different to other countries in this regard. Most large cities nowadays extend beyond their municipal borders and have satellite towns and suburbs to which people commute. Oslo most certainly does too. Large parts of southeastern Norway pretty much gravitate towards Oslo, and it only seems to go in one direction. 51.175.194.213 (talk) 18:37, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
