Background
The goal is to design a new residential area for about 1,200 residents in the southern part of Otaniemi. The residential area relies on Jokeri Light Rail, which runs along Otaniementie, and the Keilaniemi underground parking facility. The construction will match the existing environment, and the cultural, historical and natural values of the environment will be taken into account in the planning. The plan’s participation and assessment scheme was available for public review as part of the amendment to the 220209 Kivimies detailed plan. After that, the area was separated into another plan.
