  • Helsinki: an Overview
    Helsinki: An Overview Helsinki, the largest city in Finland, is the nation’s capital and its administrative, economic, scientific and cultural center. The metropolitan area covers 0.2 percent of Finland’s land area, yet 19 percent of the country’s population lives there, generating 30 percent of the nation’s total output. Demographics Helsinki is growing more international at a fast pace. Today 10 percent of Helsinki residents are foreign- born, and the frequency is higher among younger age groups. The proportion of foreign-born residents is expected to rise to 20-25 percent by 2025. Economy Finland’s economy is among the most competitive in the world, according to the World Economic Forum. Helsinki is the engine of Finland’s growth and is the country’s main economic and logistical center. Its industrial structure is diversified, but services and high-tech industries account for a large proportion of output. As the economic weight of Northern Europe shifts eastward, Helsinki is emerging as a regional hub of business and commerce. Located at the heart of the fast-growing Baltic Sea region, 315 miles due east of Stockholm, Helsinki serves as a gateway between East and West. Several daily flights and new high- speed trains link Helsinki to St. Petersburg, and extensive intercontinental flight connections make Helsinki a major hub for the megacities of East Asia, serving 13 million travelers in 2010. Annually, some 9 million ferry passengers travel through the port of Helsinki. Quality of Life Helsinki ranks second among European cities in The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Liveability Report (2010).

  • ALVAR AALTO & Finlandia HALL
    ALVAR AALTO & FinLAnDiA HALL ALVAR AALTO & FinlanDiA hall To be able to understand the architecture of Finlandia Hall, one must be familiar with the larger vision of Helsinki of which Finlandia Hall is only a part, a vision that may never fully materialize. At the beginning of the 19th century, Helsinki was granted the position of capital of the newly established Grand Duchy of Fin- land, and the architect Carl Ludvig Engel designed the monumen- tal central square, known today as the Senate Square, which is flanked by the Cathedral, Senate Palace and the University. Alvar Aalto was of the opinion that independent Finland should con- Alvar Aalto in the 1930’s, Photo: Heinonen, struct a central square of its own in the new centre of the city, Alvar Aalto -museum which is in the vicinity of the Parliament House, the building that symbolizes the status won in 1917. lt was a lucky coincidence that right in front of the Parliament there lay a large railway freight yard which was to be re-sited elsewhere; Aalto thought that this area would provide a unique opportunity for the realization of an idea, originally suggested by Eliel Saarinen in 1917, for the con- struction of a new traffic route called Freedom Avenue (Vapau- denkatu) from the northern suburbs right to the heart of the city. Aalto envisaged a large, fan-shaped square terraced on three levels the topmost point of which would be where the equestrian statue of Mannerheim now stands. The square would open towards Töölönlahti Bay, and on one side it would be flanked by a concert and congress hall and further on by an opera house, an art mu- seum, the city library and, possibly, other public buildings, which would be erected in the midst of the greenery of Hesperia Park.
