We welcome you to a fair-like residents’ evening at the Otaniemen lukio upper secondary school on 16 April from 17 to 19:30. Come and explore the current plans and development prospects in the Tapiola district!

The event will be organised in the Otasali room in the Otaniemen lukio upper secondary school. You can spend the evening with us from start to finish or drop by at any time between 17 and 19:30. You can access the room directly from Tekniikantie or through an accessible route from Tietotie.

For most of the event, you are free to visit stands where the city planners of the district will answer your questions and present current plans. A short informative part will get you up to date about the district’s development prospects.

The following detailed land use plans will be on public display during the event: Vuorimies, Jousenkaaren koulu, Haukilahdensatama, and Louhentori. In addition to these, the stands will also present other detailed land use plans currently underway in the area.

Take a moment to enjoy the treats at the Otaniemi Upper Secondary School students’ buffet café and support the student council at the same time. You can pay by card, cash, or MobilePay. Sit down for a moment to play the youth-led City Game, which introduces you in a fun way to different Espoo residents, urban areas, and the goals of urban planning.
