What kind of future do we want in Espoo? The decisions being made will have a far-reaching impact on the future. Welcome to discuss the results of the Our Espoo 20X0 event series on 16 March! The Our Espoo 20X0 event series heard the residents’ views on the future of Espoo, carefully collecting and analysing all ideas. We now invite the residents to continue discussing the city’s future and how they can influence it. The event will discuss the results of the event series and their effect on Espoo’s urban planning, the preparation of the master plan, and the Espoo Adult Education Centre’s course offering. The results will be examined in panel discussions. The topics are based on themes the residents considered important in the Our Espoo 20X0 discussions. The themes for the evening are: 1. A communal and vibrant city 2. Smooth everyday life, services and mobility 3. Local nature, climate change and biodiversity 4.

The Our Espoo 20X0 event series consisted of 15 events, including theme and discussion evenings and a workshop. It was implemented by the City of Espoo and the Omnia Espoo Adult Education Centre during the spring and summer of 2022. The events reached more than 1,600 people interested in the future of Espoo. The Our Espoo 20X0 event material has now been carefully analysed. Themed evening chat discussions and visions at the workshop were recorded, and scribes wrote detailed notes at the themed evenings. The events brought to light a lot of residents’ ideas on the direction in which the future of Espoo should develop. The results have been compiled into a comprehensive report revealing Espoo-residents’ hopes for the city’s future.
