What is a master plan and why is one being made? How would the draft plan change Espoo? How do I read the plan map and give feedback? At the event, the draft plan will be presented in English, and you get to meet its designers face-to-face and they will tell you everything you need to know to comment on the draft plan.

The English event will be held at the Otasali, Otaniemi upper secondary school on 13 August from 17.30 to 19.30. Address: Tekniikantie 15 or, if you need an accessible entrance, the main entrance of Otaniemi upper secondary school, Tietotie 6.

Parking during the event: Free parking at Tekniikantie 15 in car parks P2 and P3. You do not need to show your registration number to the caretaker. In addition, there are four-hour parking spaces by Tietotie 6. These require using a parking disc.

The English event is part of a series of 11 events that will introduce you to the draft Espoo Master Plan 2060 and give you all the information you will need to comment on it. The series will begin on 3 June with a remote information session. The session will be recorded, and you can watch the recording at any time to learn the basic facts. The area-specific events are about discussing the draft plan from the perspective of each area. In addition, we will hold one event in Swedish and one in English, and we will participate in the Espoo Day celebrations.

You are welcome to attend the area-specific events held in Finnish, where you can ask questions in Swedish and English.

What is it all about?

The future of Espoo concerns us all. The master plan being prepared is set for 2060. It will help us guide Espoo’s growth in a sustainable manner in the coming decades.

The master plan is a tool that can be used to prepare for population growth and large-scale traffic arrangements. It can also be used to ensure that Espoo remains nature-oriented in the future.

You can comment on the draft plan in the period 3 June–3 September 2024. At the preparation stage, many things are still undecided, which means that this is your opportunity to have your say!

Preparing the master plan requires many years of work, and all Espoo residents can contribute to it. Based on the feedback on the draft, experts working on the master plan will prepare a more detailed plan, a plan proposal. The estimate is that residents will get to comment on the plan proposal by 2025–2026.
