    KRUUNUSILLAT INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION A BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE COMPETITION 20.2.2013 KRUUNUSILLAT • Kruunusillat is a traffic connection currently being designed for linking maritime Kruunuhaka and the future island district of Kruunuvuorenranta. • The competition area is situated between Kalasatama and Kruunuvuorenranta. • Kruunusillat is meant for trams, cyclists and pedestrians. • The bridge connection would significantly shorten the distance between Helsinki city centre and Kruunuvuorenranta. • The competition will be held to ascertain what kinds of options exist. • As a result of the competition, information will be obtained for assessing the traffic connection’s environmental impact. • The competition is international because we want the world’s top experts for this challenging task. • The connection will be situated in the middle of a national landscape. The bridge connection must be of high aesthetic quality and should be appropriate for the landscape and natural environment. • The design has to be safe in all weather conditions and it must enable a free, unobstructed flow of traffic. The City of Helsinki wants to favour sustainable forms of traffic, such as rail transport, and improve the standard of service of public transport. The bridge connection proposal meets this requirement. The bridge connection would also enhance provisions for pedestrian traffic and cycling. 2 KRUUNUSILLAT International design competition The City of Helsinki will hold an international design competition for Kruunusillat. The aim is to attract the world’s best bridge experts here to design the new tram, cycle and pedestrian connection between centrally located Kalasatama and Laajasalo’s Kruunuvuorenranta. The bridge connection would be made up of at least two bridges, the longest of which could be, at nearly 1.2 kilometres, the longest in Finland.

  • 5 Reasons to Be Inspired by Helsinki
    5 reasons to be inspired by Helsinki 1. Urban city culture and clean Nordic nature in the same package Helsinki is one of the greenest metropolises in the world: over one third of the city consists of parks and other green areas, and it is surrounded on three sides by the sea, which is an essential part everyday life in Helsinki. Helsinki has almost 100 kilometres of shoreline and around 300 islands. Many of the islands are accessible for recreational use. The archipelago offers endless opportunities for experiences at their best at summer time. Helsinki’s islands and coastline are perfect places to enjoy the fresh air and swimming. Visitors can try an authentic Finnish sauna e.g. on the island of Uunisaari or in the brand new Kulttuurisauna “Culture Sauna” beside the sea in Hakaniemi. Helsinki is also one of the cleanest capital cities in the world. The noise, pollution and congestion that are often associated with capital cities are noticeably absent here. The safe and tidy streets combined with the compact size of the city make Helsinki a pleasant place to visit. 2. The urban northern summer experience and the landmarks of Helsinki In summertime the terraces, parks, seaside boulevards of Helsinki and nearby islands are filled with people enjoying the outdoors. The nights are white and the evening entertainment stretches into the early hours of the morning. Summer is also the season for urban festivals and open-air events. Even on the hottest days of the year, the breezes off the sea remain fresh. The symbol of Helsinki is the brilliant white cathedral known in Finnish as Tuomiokirkko that towers above Senate Square.
