Verde
The VERDE proposal weaves together contrasting urban scales in Vähäheikkilä, integrating old and new into a human-scale, layered urban fabric. It revitalizes industrial zones with modular timber infills and affordable creative spaces, supporting small-scale entrepreneurship and cultural activities. The plan enhances residential areas with community-oriented housing and green buffers that soften transitions. A central “Green Ribbon” park corridor with diverse vegetation and water features connects the district, offering varied outdoor experiences for all ages and promoting biodiversity. The design fosters sustainability, social interaction, and a vibrant, inclusive neighbourhood identity.
