What are urban renewal areas?

Malmi, Mellunkylä, Malminkartano and Kannelmäki are existing areas that have been designat- ed as specific urban renewal areas. In these areas, up to one third of the current number of homes can be constructed by 2035 while making the housing stock of the area more diverse. The purpose of urban renewal is to increase the overall attractiveness of the residential area and ensure high-quality complementary construction.

Updating of Kamppi’s old de- tailed plans Old inner city detailed plans will be updated in certain areas. The de- tailed plans spanning centuries and decades need to be harmo- nised as they do not wholly reflect the current situation or the goals of the city plan. Kamppi is the first area where the detailed plans will be updated. The environmental values and the centre vision ap- proved by the City Board and its extensive interaction will be stud- ied as part of the project. The Kamppi detailed plan draft is estimated to be ready for com- ments in late 2021 and the detailed plan proposal will be prepared in 2022. New building projects will require a separate change to the detailed plan.

The effects of the decision will be assessed in Helsinki, Van- taa and Sipoo, which had drawn up the city plan in co-operation. Based on the assessment, it will be decided in which form the plan- ning of the area will be restarted. At least in the Helsinki area, solv- ing land use requires new master 215.
