Helsinki 2050 v2.0

A commentary about the City of Helsinki in the year 2050. That's the year chosen for the #future visions in the city's new city plan #yleiskaava #urbanplanning

[Helsinki 2050 v2.0 @helsinki2050]

The discussion about the future of the #malmiairport (the only #generalaviation 🚁🛩 airport in #Helsinki) is going on. If you understand Finnish you can follow the hashtag #malminlentoasema - and if not we’ll try to find time ti write a summary in English #Helsinki2050

[Helsinki 2050 v2.0 @helsinki2050]

The new #Helsinki city plan #Helsinki2050 is official as of today 5th of December. #masterplan #urbanplanning

[Helsinki 2050 v2.0 @helsinki2050]

Future of public transport? #publictransport #smartcity #maas

[Strong Towns @StrongTowns]

Bet you can't do that in a single occupancy car... Via @popupcity. https://t.co/RummojQqFK

Shared electric scooters are coming to #Helsinki in the Summer 2019, but is our infrastructure ready?

[Dale Bracewell @Dale_Bracewell]

“So ask not whether scooters are safe enough for your city, but whether your city is safe enough for people to get around in without the need for armor”

Decarbonize Paris #paris2050

[City Atlas @cityatlas]

Paris has a plan that describes life for typical Parisians through 2050, as people & the city change habits to decarbonize.

It's brilliant. New Yorkers need a report like this, along w/public workshops & help from creative community to explain it. 5/n

@CivicLilly1 @HalOBrien_WA @schmangee @JohnChivall Clever and cool. Here’s some photos of these #ullakkoasunto projects. There’s even a own building code for these in #Helsinki. #urbanplanning

@CivicLilly1 @HalOBrien_WA @schmangee @JohnChivall Also in Helsinki it’s quite popular to convert attics into apartments at the same time to cover the costs of the retrofit elevators

[Helsinki 2050 v2.0 @helsinki2050]

@CivicLilly1 @HalOBrien_WA @schmangee @JohnChivall Yes, there are more and more retrofit elevators in Finland. There’s up to 45 % elevator subsidy ”#hissiavustus” for the installations. The tenants may need to pay only 55 % of the costs #elevator

@CivicLilly1 @HalOBrien_WA @schmangee @JohnChivall Thanks. That’s interesting. Perhaps there are similar studies from other cities too? #urbanplanning #elevator #walkablecity

[Helsinki 2050 v2.0 @helsinki2050]

#Östersundom is the highly disputed area in the east #Helsinki and parts of #Vantaa and #Sipoo #urbanplanning

Plans for 100.000 new residents

[Helsinki 2050 v2.0 @helsinki2050]

@CivicLilly1 @HalOBrien_WA @schmangee @JohnChivall It would be interesting to run a computer simulation at what number of floors people start to spend more time standing in elevators than walk. #highrise #elevator #urbanplanning #walkablecity

[Helsinki 2050 v2.0 @helsinki2050]

Brilliant! Perhaps this could also work in #Helsinki

#affordabletransit #affordablehousing

[Streetsblog USA @StreetsblogUSA]

Rich people could end up hoarding all the good transit for themselves unless we get busy either:
A. Expanding affordable housing near decent transit, or...
B. Building much more good transit, or...
C. Both

[Helsinki 2050 v2.0 @helsinki2050]

An interesting finding indeed #publictransit

[Streetsblog USA @StreetsblogUSA]

Interesting findings: Wealthy people are slightly more likely to ride transit *to work* than low-income people in these cities. Image/article: @seattletimes https://t.co/70Yhcx9aL3

#YIT’s Trigoni proposal is nominated as a winner of the Helsinki High-rise architecture and implementation competition: https://t.co/79ITyJakLW #livingcity #helsinkihighrise #Pasila #construction #trigoni

We’re sure if cars were invented today in 2018 no country would allow humans driving cars on streets - robots would do the driving

[Helsinki 2050 v2.0 @helsinki2050]

This looks interesting #helsinkistreamcity #helsinkiquickstep #hqs #mobilityweek #kiradigi #smartcity #helsinki #urbanplanning

#AmosRex #Lasipalatsi #Helsinki ❤️

Did you know the Lasipalatsi building was designed to be a temporary building for only a short time?

[Topi Tjukanov @tjukanov]

Buildings from all Finnish municipalities at the same scale. (1:25 000) Ordered by population. A side-product while creating a one big urban fabric mosaic inspired by @undertheraedar.
