‘Visions of the streets of the future’ exhibition

How should a street of the future be shaped? How can design be used to make a city more appealing? What do urban designers do? This exhibition presenting the Esplanadi experiment will explore the new look of the streets and the story behind the design solutions.

In addition to the Esplanadi street experiment, the exhibition will feature new signage models for the Helsinki city centre. Come and see how design helps to create safe and accessible streets for all, and give us your views on signage.

The exhibition will be open on the Espa stage 13–15 September from 12.00 to 18.00.
