NEW-BUILD GENTRIFICATION in HELSINKI Anna Kajosaari
Master's Thesis Regional Studies Urban Geography NEW-BUILD GENTRIFICATION IN HELSINKI Anna Kajosaari 2015 Supervisor: Michael Gentile UNIVERSITY OF HELSINKI FACULTY OF SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF GEOSCIENCES AND GEOGRAPHY GEOGRAPHY PL 64 (Gustaf Hällströmin katu 2) 00014 Helsingin yliopisto Faculty Department Faculty of Science Department of Geosciences and Geography Author Anna Kajosaari Title New-build gentrification in Helsinki Subject Regional Studies Level Month and year Number of pages (including appendices) Master's thesis December 2015 126 pages Abstract This master's thesis discusses the applicability of the concept of new-build gentrification in the context of Helsinki. The aim is to offer new ways to structure the framework of socio-economic change in Helsinki through this theoretical perspective and to explore the suitability of the concept of new-build gentrification in a context where the construction of new housing is under strict municipal regulations. The conceptual understanding of gentrification has expanded since the term's coinage, and has been enlarged to encompass a variety of new actors, causalities and both physical and social outcomes. New-build gentrification on its behalf is one of the manifestations of the current, third-wave gentrification. Over the upcoming years Helsinki is expected to face growth varying from moderate to rapid increase of the population. The last decade has been characterized by the planning of extensive residential areas in the immediate vicinity of the Helsinki CBD and the seaside due to the relocation of inner city cargo shipping. Accompanied with characteristics of local housing policy and existing housing stock, these developments form the framework where the prerequisites for the existence of new-build gentrification are discussed.

The networking between R&D and innovation professionals is genuine and encourages synergies. One result is the new Aalto University, created from the merger of the Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) with the School of Economics (HSE) and the School of Art and Design (TaiK); this project combined a number of themes, and parallelsii the “T3” innovation promotion strategy for Greater Helsinki.

Reflections on the Innovative City: Examining Three Innovative Locations in a Knowledge Bases Framework Tommi Inkinen
Inkinen Journal of Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity (2015) 1:8 DOI 10.1186/s40852-015-0009-5 RESEARCH Open Access Reflections on the innovative city: examining three innovative locations in a knowledge bases framework Tommi Inkinen Correspondence: tommi.inkinen@ helsinki.fi Abstract Department of Geosciences and Geography, University of Helsinki, This paper combines three location-based cases with literature background focusing Helsinki 00014, Finland on knowledge bases and cities. The paper considers the regional context of the city of Helsinki and its surrounding area (HMA). Analyzed cases include three specific locations highlighting urban form, connectivity and knowledge-intensive production. Conceptually innovative cities are experiencing extensive change as they transform and change in order to become competitive providers of first class living for highly skilled global work-force. The integration of spatial characteristics into analyses of knowledge intensiveness of cities brings forth new theoretical openings for urban analysis setting platforms for open innovation and economy. The paper focuses on extensive material resources collected in numerous projects. The data gives more reliable picture of the knowledge-intensive locations compared to single interviews or survey studies. The total data includes work and education statistics, stakeholder interviews and observation field work. Provided reflections are classified according to key issues presented in urban studies and economic geography. Background An innovation is a new product or service, material or immaterial, with a market demand that separates it from an invention. Innovation is one of the most widely used concepts in the current literature of economic geography highlighting the importance of regions in innovative development. Regions themselves are targets of numerous policies enhancing a complex interaction between processes of education, the labor market, and the econ- omy.
