- In the forthcoming decades, Helsinki will expand faster than ever before, with the construction of a variety of apartments, offices, kindergartens, schools, parks, streets and recreation areas. The City of Helsinki aims to build quality neighbourhoods where people can enjoy both work and leisure. The recent construction of a new cargo harbour in a different location 10 km from the city centre has provided the opportunity to develop the site of the former old port and railway yard area for other uses. Environmental issues are crucial in the planning of new districts, and in developing the public transport system further. Efficient use of energy and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions are considered extremely important. Helsinki is aiming for eco-efficiency in the field of urban planning and land use by making the urban structure denser, and also by developing a smooth and flexible public transport system. This is a big challenge in the Helsinki Region. Eco-efficient solutions are also favoured with construction. In energy production, efficiency is as high as 90 %, which makes it easier to achieve lower overall emissions. These new areas provide an important testbed for universities and researchers as well as for the construction industry. I will now present a couple of these projects more closely starting with a photo of the new harbour in Vuosaari.
- Jätkäsaari is planned according to the principles of sustainable development, with its central location in the city supporting these goals. An effective public transport network incorporating both trams and the metro will service this dense urban structure. Similar energy-efficient solutions found elsewhere in Helsinki will be favoured during construction. Jätkäsaari is home to the “City Block for Sustainable Construction” project of Sitra, the Finnish Innovation Fund. The goal of the project is to develop and demonstrate energy-efficient, innovative solutions for low-carbon or even carbon neutral urban design and construction.
- • Building energy efficiency - better performing buildings will be designed, with an appropriate mix of end-uses and through the intelligent planning of the spaces between them. Energy demand management tools and techniques such as smart meters and behavioural change prompts will encourage residents to contribute reduce energy consumption. • Use of sustainable materials and methods - sustainably-sourced timber and materials which have a lower impact on the environment (in terms of toxicity and embodied carbon) will be used. • Encouraging the community to meet sustainability goals - by increasing their awareness and understanding of the impact of their energy and transport usage, food and consumer goods consumption. • Develop replicable and scalable solutions that can be adopted more broadly in transforming the built environment to low - and eventually - no carbon emissions. These objectives will be met by coupling solutions with an increased shift towards renewable energy production and new sustainable funding mechanisms.
