The public area plan for Malmi and Pukinmäki will guide the development, renovation, and maintenance of green areas, streets, market places and squares in the area in the 2020s. The aim is to target the management and renovation of streets and green spaces based on residents’ wishes as stated in a 2019 online survey and improve the safety and pleasantness of these areas. The plan area encompasses not just Malmi and Pukinmäki, but also Sepänmäki, Nallenmäki and Fallkulla. The draft of the plan is now open for comments and feedback received will be taken into consideration in further work on the plan. The plan will be opened up for comments once again in early 2021, prior to being submitted to the Urban Environment Committee for approval.

What is a public area plan?
The public area plan sets out the current state of the area’s networks and street and green areas, determines their improvement needs, and presents proposals for projects for development. A public area plan was previously known as an area plan. On the basis of discussion between and the views of residents and experts, ideas suggested are planned in further detail and implemented within the financial means of the City over the next ten years. The plan does not cover the yards of schools and daycare centres, and nor does it encompass sports parks or local sports facilities. Furthermore, a public area plan does not involve land use planning, such as detailed planning.
The objectives of nature and landscape management are determined as a part of a public area plan. Once the plan has been approved, a more detailed nature and landscape management plan is created, drawn up in collaboration with residents and organisations.
The planning materials are available online (in Finnish)
