Länsisatama redevelopment project to transform Helsinki harbor

In an earlier entry, I mentioned a Chinese blog post I found  yesterday morning. I posted the English translation and asked for more information. Within minutes, Esa helped me find everything I’d need. The Chinese post mentioned a development project in Helsinki that involved input from local schoolchildren. It turns out the project has actually enlisted the help of many other groups of Finnish citizens in the redevelopment of Länsisatama [map, site, flickr].

The Länsisatama redevelopment project will transform one of Helsinki’s container harbors into “into a waterfront city quarter with an estimated population of 22,000.” The place has potential, according to this “possible future view.”
