The entire island of Norway (yes, it's an island now!) is what makes up New Oslo in 2512. Large parts of the city are actually submerged underwater, though it's entirely safe and pressurized, which allows for some breathtaking views of ocean life. These areas are popular tourist destinations for that reason.
The portion of the city that's above the water is very green, though naturally so rather than what's happened in New Amsterdam. No one lives up here for the sake of preserving the natural plant life, and so it's instead like one giant, beautiful interconnected park. Several hundred years ago, the governor of New Oslo at that time committed to this infrastructure.
The population is 1.5 million people, so quite a bit less than a good number of the other megacities.
Weather-wise, it's quite cold! There is some natural heating underground, but it can only do so much.
Many tourists also visit to see the park, though there's strict rules regarding how many people can be on the surface at once, so there's a long waiting list to visit. There's also very close watch over littering, damaging the foliage, etc. People are allowed to do photography up there, and even films are made there!
Please let us know if you need any more information about the city.
