Housing and environment

Espoo is home to more than 250 000 people. As the second largest city in Finland, Espoo is an enjoyable, lively and rapidly growing and developing place of residence. The network-like urban structure of Espoo relies heavily on the routes and nodes of road and rail traffic. In the upcoming years, a record number of investments will be made in developing the city. 

The City of Espoo is a significant builder. It develops and builds e.g. traffic lanes, park and other public areas as well as premises for the city’s own service production. Public building enables the creation and maintenance of the basic necessities of urban life. Public building projects are often the result of cooperation between multiple parties.

The flying squirrel is a topic that is sure to stimulate discussion. It is not a species of primeval forests as such, often finding a suitable habitat in a network of city forests instead. Did you know that grey-furred shapes glide from tree to tree at night in Southern Espoo?
The Helsinki City Rescue Department and the Länsi-Uusimaa Department for Rescue Services will organise a rescue exercise at the West Metro worksite in Matinkylä in Espoo on Thursday 25 April.
