Helsinki Region is home to over a million people, representing one-fifth of the population of Finland. The city’s advantages include its classic Nordic maritime scenery and efficient infrastructure. Helsinki is also one of the cleanest capital cities in the world. 12 PREFACE HELSINKI IN FACTS AND FIGURES As many cities around the world, Helsinki is going Total area 2 through a major process of renewal as former indust- \ KM rial and harbour areas are being transformed for new uses. The completion of the new harbour at Vuosaari has vacated the largest amount of space in a hundred years for constructing new housing and workplaces in the city. Over the next decades the city will have a major task with central importance for the urban structure as new areas are planned and built. As a result, around 20 kilometres of new public waterfront will be opened up for use by all of the city’s residents. This represents a significant addition to the waterfront promenades that circle the peninsula. How will this improve the quality of life for residents, and what opportunities will it create for everyday life and enjoying the moment? Helsinki hopes to create a greater sense of indi- viduality with the new developments. Instead of unifor- mity, an individual identity is being sought for each area. A new exhibition project entitled Urban Pilot has been established to present the future of the former harbour areas. This project is not an exhibition in the traditional sense of the word, but rather a broader concept to present the development of the city. Its goals include the Land 2 Sea 2 presentation of plans, construction processes and the \ KM \ KM finished urban structure. In addition, the aim is to integ- rate the new areas with the existing urban life through events. Urban Pilot supports communications and inter- action and participates in the development of identities for the new areas. In accordance with the City of Helsinki’s architec- tural policy programme, the task of architecture and city planning is to create a good and beautiful built environ- HELSINKI IN FACTS AND FIGURES PREFACE 15 2008/2009 Inhabitants ment. This task includes the demand to create emotional \ and memorable architecture. Urban Pilot presents projects that aim to fulfil these goals and improve the quality of life in the city. The principle theme, “A good life in maritime Helsinki”, connects the concept to the areas along the waterfront. The history of the changing harbour areas is an integral part of the city’s development. Historical refe- rences in the form of the buildings and by means of culture create a valuable addition to the urban environ- ment for future generations. Urban Pilot continues the story of Helsinki by presenting the plans of the future Dwellings total 2008 and building in the city. Urban Pilot is there where it \ happens, accompanying the development projects at Länsisatama, Kalasatama and Kruunuvuorenranta. This publication presents the new public waterfront route that is being created as these new districts are built, as well as the residential, commercial and recreational areas will appear along this route. A significant share of the most important buildings in Finland is the result of architectural competitions. These competitions promote new ways of thinking and the creation of new architectural visions. This democ- ratic, anonymous and open system presents opportuni- ties for many talents. Architectural competitions are a tool that can be used to select the best possible result: the competitions are waged specifically on the merits of architecture and planning. The aim of an effective competition system is to ensure that the best work wins. Finland has a long history of architectural compe- titions, which are organised by both municipalities and private interests. In spring 2010 an open ideas competi- tion was held in Jätkäsaari and Kruunuvuorenranta with 16 PREFACE the purpose of finding new townhouse solutions. In the coming years several international architectural competi- tions will be organised in Helsinki for important projects, including planning for the South Harbour area. An inter- national competition will also be held for the design of the bridge connecting Kruunuvuorenranta to the city centre. Helsinki has been designated World Design Capital for 2012. The events for this special theme year will be created around the city’s fine old and new architecture. Design is an integral part of the way of life in Helsinki. City planning, architecture and design all play a central role in the city’s development. According to Aristotle, a city exists not just for the sake of living, but for living well. Similarly, design only has true meaning if it improves the quality of life. The purpose of a design city today is to enhance everyday life in an ecologically sustainable way. We invite you to find out more about the new districts of Helsinki and to enjoy life beside the seaside! MASA PLANNING OY Länsisatama LÄNSISATAMA 21 A new seaside district in the city centre The Länsisatama district in the centre of Helsinki includes Jätkäsaari, Salmisaari, Ruoholahti, Hernesaari and Telakkaranta. Most of the land area in this district is land that has been reclaimed from the sea over the past hundred years. The planning and implementation of the areas within Länsisatama are at different stages: some parts, like Ruoholahti are being built already, others are 22 LÄNSISATAMA LÄNSISATAMA IN FACTS AND FIGURES currently advancing from the planning stage to construc- Restaurants and cafes Parks tions, while others are still being planned. \ \ HA Jätkäsaari, which is no longer used as a cargo harbour, and Hernesaari, where shipyard operations are being phased out, will be transformed over the coming years into residential and office areas. In Salmisaari, more business premises will be built once the power plant’s coal heaps have been removed. Telakkaranta will be developed into a cultural, commercial and residential area. Jätkäsaari Jätkäsaari is being developed into an urban-flavoured Public waterfront Construction period and distinctive part of Helsinki’s city centre, complete \ KM \ with street-front shops and sidewalk cafés. Housing for 16,000 residents and premises for 6000 woraces will be built in Jätkäsaari, which covers an area of 100 hectares. The new area will be built between 2009 and 2025. Although the cargo harbour has moved to Vuosaari, the existing passenger harbour will remain in Jätkäsaari. Office buildings will be erected between the busy harbour and the residential buildings. The proximity and atmosphere of the sea, the fine views from park areas and the waterfront, the boat marina and passenger terminal, as well as the neighbourhood’s diversified architecture impart a distin- Apartment saunas Street-front shops ctive seaside flavour to Jätkäsaari. A seaside city district \ \ like Jätkäsaari is particularly susceptible to winds, so the windy maritime conditions will be taken into account in land use planning and building design. Jätkäsaari is being planned in keeping with the principles of sustai- nable development. Its location in the city centre already supports these goals; the urban structure is dense and LÄNSISATAMA 25 the area has an effective public transport network based around the tram and metro. A district waste conveyor system will be installed in Jätkäsaari. Parking will be mostly under residential buildings, in a parking lot exca- vated from the granite, and along the streets. The aim is to create a unique identity for each area within Jätkäsaari. The silhouette of the first areas to be developed, Jätkäsaarenkallio and Hietasaari, will have a uniform height of around seven storeys in keeping with the architecture in the city centre. A few lower structures are planned along pedestrian paths, and two high-rise hotel towers will rise to form landmarks for the area. The next project will be the development of the Saukonlaituri area at the southwest tip of Jätkäsaari. This area is being developed in the spirit of the Multistore apartment build- nings, developing project (”Kehittyvä kerrostalo”). Diffe- rent types of residential blocks and buildings are planned for the area, including small apartment buildings, row houses and new types of townhouses. The height of the buildings will range from two to ten storeys. A North- South canal will run through the western section, along which a market square will be built. The unique identity of each area within the former harbour will be preserved by retaining historic buildings. The existing buildings being retained at Jätkäsaari are located in the first area that is being developed. Tfivehe former harbour warehouse, known as “Bunkkeri”, will be Y O converted into a sports centre, youth centre and library. ANEN P O S Among the other important architectural landmarks that IN & L will preserved are the warehouses designed by Lars AR S Sonck in the 1920s and 1930s, which will be converted DIT H ITE into a hotel and office space. The old harbour service KK R A structure “Huutokonttori” will be converted for use by 26 LÄNSISATAMA LÄNSISATAMA 27 the Helsinki City Rescue Department and an information Hernesaari centre for the Jätkäsaari project.

  • 5 Reasons to Be Inspired by Helsinki
    5 reasons to be inspired by Helsinki 1. Urban city culture and clean Nordic nature in the same package Helsinki is one of the greenest metropolises in the world: over one third of the city consists of parks and other green areas, and it is surrounded on three sides by the sea, which is an essential part everyday life in Helsinki. Helsinki has almost 100 kilometres of shoreline and around 300 islands. Many of the islands are accessible for recreational use. The archipelago offers endless opportunities for experiences at their best at summer time. Helsinki’s islands and coastline are perfect places to enjoy the fresh air and swimming. Visitors can try an authentic Finnish sauna e.g. on the island of Uunisaari or in the brand new Kulttuurisauna “Culture Sauna” beside the sea in Hakaniemi. Helsinki is also one of the cleanest capital cities in the world. The noise, pollution and congestion that are often associated with capital cities are noticeably absent here. The safe and tidy streets combined with the compact size of the city make Helsinki a pleasant place to visit. 2. The urban northern summer experience and the landmarks of Helsinki In summertime the terraces, parks, seaside boulevards of Helsinki and nearby islands are filled with people enjoying the outdoors. The nights are white and the evening entertainment stretches into the early hours of the morning. Summer is also the season for urban festivals and open-air events. Even on the hottest days of the year, the breezes off the sea remain fresh. The symbol of Helsinki is the brilliant white cathedral known in Finnish as Tuomiokirkko that towers above Senate Square.

  • Helsinki 1. - 4
    HELSINKI 1. - 4. AUGUST 2011 This time we had booked a trip to Helsinki, which is the capital of Finland. This is the 28th capital we are visiting. ☺ We went as usual from Gardermoen. This time we went once again with Norwegian. The plain departed 14.15 and was planned to arrive 16.35, but it went a bit quicker. The area “Finland Proper” was incorporated in Sweden in 1154 by the Swedish king Erik. That was the start of the 700 years of Swedish rule. In the 1200s also Tavastia and most of Karelia became parts of the Swedish empire. In 1808 Alexander I of Russia conquered the parts of Sweden that are located east of the Bothnian Bay during a war called The Finnish War, and it became thereafter the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland inside the Russian Empire until the revolution in 1917. Flagg Riksvåpen The Finnish national poem Kalevala was written down in 1835 and fiction in the Finnish language started to grow. The 6th of December 1917, shortly after the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, Finland declared itself independent. There was an agreement about the Finnish-Russian border in 1920 by the treaty in Tartu. In 1918 broke out a short, but very bitter civil war, which marked the country’s politics during many years. During WWII Finland fought against The Soviet Union tvice: In the Winter War from 1939 to 1940 and again in the Continuation War 1941–1944. When the German Continuation War collapsed the same year, Finland ceased peace with the Soviet Union.
