Requests for visits come almost daily to the author of this brochure alone. At the same time, safety regulations for underground facilities – especially for technical tunnels – have tightened considerably from previous years. The City of Helsinki has limited capabilities for organising visits. However, this brochure lets visitors make independent exploration visits to underground spaces, send direct requests to the operators/ owners of the underground spaces, and gain information about the underground facilities and practices related to them in advance. The brochure contains information about: • underground Helsinki in general • spaces that you can explore on your own • spaces that require authorisation from the space’s operator/owner and a form to be completed by the visitor • spaces that cannot be visited • some upcoming spaces • the centralised management and distribution of ground wires, cables, underground structures and spaces, as well as soil information.

In Amos Rex’s case, the unusual aspect was how it was planned. Amos Rex is quickly turning into an architectural atraction. The underground location of Amos Rex is not something that is emphasised, in fact quite the opposite. The transition of the museum from ‘Glass Palace’ (Lasipalatsi) Square to its underground facilities is unnoticeable, and natural light is channelled into the building. Without the underground facilities, Amos Rex could not have been built in the centre of Helsinki. Amos Rex was designed by JKMM Architects.

Sažetak Gradovi Hamburg, Rennes, Lausanne i Liverpool su europski gradovi sa različitim sustavom podzemne željeznice čiji razvoj odgovara ekonomskoj situaciji gradskih središta. Trenutno stanje pojedinih podzemno željeznićkih sustava i njihova primjenjena tehnologija uvelike odražava stanje razvoja javnog gradskog prijevoza i mreže javnog gradskog prometa. Svaki od prijevoznika u podzemnim željeznicama u tim gradovima ima različiti tehnički pristup obavljanja javnog gradskog prijevoza te korištenjem optimalnim brojem motornih prijevoznih jedinica osigurava zadovoljenje potreba javnog gradskog i metropolitanskog područja grada. Kroz usporedbu tehničkih podataka pojedinih podzemnih željeznica može se uvidjeti i zaključiti koji od sustava podzemnih željeznica je veći i koje oblike tehničkih rješenja koristi. Ključne riječi: Hamburg, Rennes, Lausanne, Liverpool, podzemna željeznica, javni gradski prijevoz, linija, tip vlaka, tvrtka, prihod, cijena. Summary Cities Hamburg, Rennes, Lausanne and Liverpool are european cities with different metro system by wich development reflects economic situation of city areas.

  • Underground Resources and Master Plan in Helsinki
    0-LAND_USE: UNDERGROUND RESOURCES AND MASTER PLAN IN HELSINKI ILKKA VÄHÄAHO City of Helsinki, Real Estate Department, Geotechnical Division, P.O. Box 2202, FI-00099, Finland. E-mail: [email protected] Underground resources play an extremely important and central role in the development of the city structure of Helsinki and the adjoining areas, helping to create a more unified and eco-efficient structure. Underground planning enhances the overall economy efficiency of facilities located underground and boosts the safety of these facilities and their use. Since the 1960s, the City of Helsinki has been adept at widely utilizing the opportunities for underground construction. More than 400 premises and over 200 km of technical maintenance tunnels have already been built underground. Demand for underground space in the central city area has grown rapidly since the turn of the 21st century and at the same time the need to control construction work has increased substantially. The main focus of this paper is on sustainability issues related to urban underground space use, including contribution to an environmentally sustainable and aesthetically acceptable landscape, anticipated structural longevity, and maintaining the opportunity for urban development by future generations. The Underground Master Plan of Helsinki reserves designated space for public and private utilities in various underground areas of bedrock over the long term. The Master Plan also provides the framework for managing and controlling the city’s underground construction work, and allows suitable locations to be allocated for underground facilities. When selecting future underground resources, the survey for the Helsinki Underground Master Plan took into account their accessibility; the present and planned ground-level uses of these areas; traffic connections; land ownership; and possible recreational, landscape and environmental protection values.
