Planning and land use

Maankäyttöpalveluiden tavoitteena on luoda kestävä, mielenkiintoinen ja viihtyisä yhdyskuntarakenne

Land use services are in charge of the city’s property in land and maps as well as land use planning.

In addition to the city’s strategy, the operations are currently steered by a planning review required by the Land use and Building Act (MRL, Section 7) that is approved annually by the City Council. In addition to an annual review, the planning review also presents a planning programme for the next five years.

Land use services comprise three service units:

  • Planning
  • Land tenure
  • Geographical information

Land use services are led by the planning manager.
