Safe daily life
The City of Espoo develops and builds shared urban spaces with a pleasant, well-maintained urban environment. Safety is always taken into account when planning, building, using and maintaining these spaces. The city also improves the safety of people’s everyday lives by supporting a sense of community, preventing social exclusion and producing high-quality services.
We can all influence our surrounding environment through our own actions. Keeping the environment clean, smart behaviour and taking care of ourselves and others create a safe Espoo.
