elsinki will be the World
Design Capital 2012. Urban planning and architectural
design have played an important
part in the selection. Design also will play a remarkable role in
all future developments.
During the next ten years
the Helsinki area will under-
go more changes than probably any other large city region
in Europe. In particular, the development of shores, ports and
railway yards will radically alter
the city. 250 hectares of waterfront area have already been vacated by the transfer of two cargo ports out of the city centre.
This, together with the
city’s other major development
projects, will create 4.5 million
m² of new residential floor area and almost 2.5 million m²
of business floor area by 2040,
representing new homes for
100,000 people and jobs for tens
of thousands. b
