context_page_description: Nydalen is a neighbourhood in the Nordre Aker borough in northern Oslo, Norway.
context_section_description: In the late 19th century, the banks of the Akerselva River were dotted with various industrial buildings, Nydalen included. However, a transformation soon occurred. Beginning in the 1990s, Nydalen evolved into an urban hub of sorts with modern residential buildings, commercial and service establishments, shopping centres, eateries, and numerous corporate offices.
  The relocation of the BI Norwegian Business School to the area in 2004 further boosted the area's development. In 2003, a new subway station, Nydalen (station) opened in Nydalen. Many people have moved into new residential buildings in the late 2000s. Today, the area is a lively, trendy and well-connected neighbourhood with the Akerselva River flowing through its heart.
