The population of the Helsinki Metropolitan Area is growing rapidly, and a significant part of the growth pressure is falling on Espoo. The City is now launching a master planning process to agree on the direction and boundary conditions for this growth. The first step is to set objectives for the plan. The master plan anticipates and guides the development of the city.
“We need this master plan to guide the city’s development in the long term,” says Olli Isotalo, Deputy Mayor for Urban Environment.
