Regaining Helsinki East. Because it’s a place with great potential which is in need of a serious overhaul. Our aim is to transform Helsinki East to a bustling, vibrant local urban centre.

The first step happens by “sewing” together these parts through new interventions, or by improving and altering existing connections. The routes are complemented by a variety of urban plazas. They differ in character (green or paved), size, intimacy (from the public plazas to small intimate backyards for the residents) and usages (relaxing, sport, shopping…).
