This page presents current plans by city districts. More extensive and the most recent information about the plans can be found in Finnish via the Helsinki Map Service (kartta.hel.fi).
Southern Helsinki
Suomenlinna
1. Suomenlinna
Suomenlinna is a living city district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a site protected under the Act on the Protection of the Built Heritage. Currently, Suomenlinna has no local detailed plan. The detailed plan being drawn up will preserve the current use of Suomenlinna and contribute to the site's protection. The objective is to have the detailed plan proposal on public display in the autumn of 2024.
Punavuori, Kamppi and Etu-Töölö.
2 a and b. Updating the old local detailed plans of Kamppi and Leppäsuo
The old local detailed plans of the inner city are being updated. First up will be the plans for Kamppi and Leppäsuo. A revised plan proposal has been submitted to the Urban Environment Committee for processing, and the City Council will approve the plan amendment.
Varying types of detailed plans from different decades and centuries need to be updated, as they do not wholly reflect the current situation and the goals of the city plan. The work will also involve updating the protection scheme for buildings and parks. The vision for the city centre, approved by the City Board, as well as the dialogue that took place during its drafting process, will be utilised in the work.
The plan updates do not apply to new construction projects. These will still require a separate detailed plan revision. After Kamppi and Leppäsuo, the plan updates will continue with Kaartinkaupunki and elsewhere in the inner city area.
3. Hietalahdenranta
Additional construction and changes to outdoor public spaces are being planned for Hietalahdenranta. The objective is to develop the area as a hub of office spaces and services, and as a pleasant pedestrian environment.
In the plan, office buildings are located to the southeast of Hietalahdenallas. A cycling and walking route, as well as recreational spots, are being planned for the seashore.
The plan draft will be submitted to the Urban Environment Committee for processing in fall 2024. The area is reserved for HGR Property Partners for further planning purposes.
