The completion of the Jokeri Light Rail will improve accessibility in the area and significantly increase the size of Oulunkylä. Jokeri Light Rail will meet the main line in the renovated centre of Oulunkylä.
New housing and services are planned for Oulunkylä. Up to 5,000 new residents are targeted for the district by 2030.
Thanks to its central location and excellent transport links, Oulunkylä offers great business opportunities. New office premises are planned for the centre of Oulunkylä and around the Jokeri Light Rail stops, for example. By 2030, the aim is to create up to 1,500 new jobs in the area.
