  • 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.

  • Development of the Urban Form in Helsinki and Stockholm Metropolitan Regions
    PLANNORD Stockholm, The 7th Nordic Planning Research Symposium, August 20th – 22nd 2015 Mika Ristimäki & Panu Söderström Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) Development of the Urban Form in Helsinki and Stockholm metropolitan regions Backround In recent decades, the Helsinki and Stockholm city regions have been among the most rapidly growing areas in Europe. In addition to the peri-urban area surrounding a dense core area, the areas of impact of both cities include several smaller towns, various development corridors and extensive rural areas. How has the urban form of metropolitan areas been structured from the core to the fringes? How should their development be guided? Answering these questions requires international reference data so that solutions that have been successful elsewhere can be utilised in planning and decision-making, and detrimental effects can be prevented. In order to succeed, the comparison of city regions requires comparable data, applicable methods and identifying the similarities and differences of the administrative and planning systems of the studied regions. In many ways, the Stockholm metropolitan area is an important point of comparison for Helsinki. In terms of its many dimensions, urbanisation in the Stockholm region has been found to be more advanced than in Helsinki, which is why the solutions implemented in Stockholm with regard to urban form should be evaluated in relation to the development of the Helsinki region. A comparative study of the urban form in Helsinki and Stockholm was originally published in the form of a collection of articles in Finnish (ed. Söderström, Schulman & Ristimäki 2014). The publication explored the development of the city regions through GIS and statistical analyses, literature reviews and expert interviews conducted in the regions.

  • Finland and Helsinki
    About Finland Shortly about Finland Finland, a member of the European Union since 1995, counts about 5.3 million inhabitants and with a surface area of roughly 338 000 km2 is the fifth largest country in the EU. With almost 200,000 lakes and dense forests that account for two thirds of its surface area, Finland is a northern country of great natural beauty. This page focuses on the attractive Finnish capital, Helsinki. Details on sites outside of Helsinki are in the Beyond Helsinki page. Helsinki, the Capital The city of Helsinki was founded in 1550 by King Gustav Vasa of Sweden and has been the capital of Finland since 1812. The capital enjoys a unique architecture that beautifully amalgamates the old with the new while reflecting influences from both the East and the West. Following a colourful history, Helsinki today is a bustling centre of Finland's cultural and business life with a population of 0.6 million. In 2011, a quality of life survey run by British Monocle magazine ranked Helsinki as #1 in the world due to reasons such as a low- crime rate, top-notch education, well run city services and a food-culture that is constantly developing. An efficient public transportation system makes getting around Helsinki quick and easy. In short, Helsinki is large enough to provide all services that a major conference may require, yet small enough to make delegates and their families feel at home during their stay. Helsinki Metropolitan Area Together with the neighboring cities of Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen, Helsinki forms the so-called Helsinki Metropolitan Area (also known as Greater Helsinki) with a population of over one million.
