Espoo Master Plan 2060

The master plan was initiated on 7 September 2022, and a public notice about it was published on the City’s website and the Länsiväylä and Hufvudstadsbladet newspapers.

At the starting stage, elected officials, stakeholders and planners envision the future of the urban environment together, based on the Espoo Story. Residents’ views were collected even before the plan was initiated through methods such as the My Espoo on the Map survey and Our Espoo 20X0 discussion events. 

In the participation and assessment scheme, we share the following regarding the master planning:

• the premises and purpose of the master plan
• progress of the preparation and decision-making
• how interaction and residents’ participation opportunities will be organised in the different stages of the planning
• how the plan’s impact will be assessed.

You can read the participation and assessment scheme and provide feedback on it. Send your feedback to the Registry Office by email to kirjaamo@espoo.fi, or by post to Espoo Registry Office, PO Box 1, FI-02070 City of Espoo. You can also contact the planners directly: you can find their contact information at the bottom of the page.

You can participate in residents’ events and surveys, which will be organised during the various stages of the planning process.

As the planning work progresses, we will make the materials for each stage available for public review on this website. The public review of the plan materials will be announced officially in the City’s public notices and in the Länsiväylä and Hufvudstadsbladet newspapers. You can also view the materials at the customer service office of the Espoo Urban Environment Sector (Tekniikantie 15, 2nd floor, Otaniemi) and at Espoo’s service points.
