Poor home defending allowed Anthony Pilkington right through to give Norwich the head, only for Jack Rodwell to complete a neat Blues move with the equaliser.
But Jonny Howson's intention after running from halfway provided Norwich only their 2nd away league win of the season.
In beating some men and sliding former Hart from an approach, Howson also gave Norwich their own first top-flight win in Manchester City.
It was only this Blues' second home defeat in 48 Premier League games on the first appearance at a Etihad Stadium since sacrificing the FA Cup last and sacking manager Roberto Mancini.
Which has a subdued crowd showing banners in addition to chanting support for Mancini around, the home side, by means of Brian Kidd in caretaker price, were largely culpable as they definitely went down to some Norwich side who previously had only secured their Highly regarded League safety with last week's 4-0 conquer West Brom.
The hosts hold the tightest defence in the very best flight but were snagged out twice for Norwich's opening up two goals, and then allowed Howson to progress virtually unchallenged for that winner.
But that isn't to detract from the performance of Chris Hughton's fellas, who were inspired through the endeavour of Wes Hoolahan and additionally Robert Snodgrass to climb to 11th within the table, their highest top-flight accomplish since 1993.
Only QPR together with Stoke had scored a lower number of Premier League goals than Norwich before Sunday, specifically their season's finale the Canaries provided consistent attacking threat.
Ryan Bennett had already had a header cleared off the line when the visitors took a deserved lead. With Yaya Toure ponderous with defence, Hoolahan's persistence ultimately released Pilkington, who coolly slotted prior Hart.
The hosts had been subdued until that level, but were sufficiently jolted that Norwich's lead lasted sole three minutes.
