Current projects

Current affairs related to participation are highlighted by the news section of this page, and other related topics are discussed on the pages of City departments. This page gives readers an introduction to the City’s planning processes and decision making that citizens can influence.

It is possible to submit proposals to the OmaStadi.hel.fi platform about how to use the funds allocated to participatory budgeting. The brainstorming and commenting of ideas continues in workshops and on the OmaStadi platform until 9 December.

Participate in city planning with comments and in discussions

The City Planning pages contain information about current town plans and traffic plans. The stages when planning can be influenced can be found by reviewing the planning process and participation .

A participation and evaluation plan is put on display during the first stage of the planning process. This plan is next followed by a town plan draft together with its background materials and finally by plan proposals open for comments. Comments can be submitted to the City Planning Department either by using a feedback form or directly to planners. 

Areas under planning are listed under the City Planning pages. Discussions are held at the City Planning meeting place Laituri in Kamppi.

Ongoing partial master plan and local plan projects on the map can be monitored in the Planning projects service.

The pages provide general information about development.

Street and park planning can be reviewed and participated in on the pages of the Public Works Department. Participation in the planning takes place by contacting planners, by joining public meetings in which plans are presented, and by responding to resident surveys.

You can have more direct influence by helping to maintain public areas as a Park Pal. Helsinki already has nearly 500 Park Pals.
