c_life is a lasting real time and real space
demonstration of how to live, work, play
and learn, producing innovation that
benefits people, the environment and the
economy.
c_life will be an innovation factory in
which SITRA will attract Start Ups and
Companies by creating a stimulating
environment for entrepreneurship, where
prototyping of built environment policies,
technologies and services can be
showcased.

Our proposition is to establish the Jätkäsaari
Climate Neutral District (CND).
The CND is the most efficient and cost-
effective way for c_life and other development
projects on Jätkäsaari to achieve carbon
neutrality.
The key strategies within CND are to:
• coordinate district-wide sustainability efforts
• establish a district carbon accounting system
• establish carbon neutrality policy for buildings
• create revolving fund for offset projects,
• invest in carbon abatement projects,
• develop municipal financing scheme,
• attract green co-operatives
• attract a Jätkäsaari sustainable bank
• implement 50 ways to change behaviour.

c_life has been conceived as a highly
energy efficient city block that reduces
carbon emissions by 40% in operation,
after which the remainder is tackled by an
offsite wind farm funded by the
development.

• c_life buildings can change use over time.
• narrow floor-plates
• structural modulation and service/utility
ducting are suitable for residential, retail or
commercial uses
• transparency for the public realm

embodied carbon in materials and
structure are reduced by 55%, using
• timber for structure and finishes
• lightweight façades (punched windows)
• minimum impact concrete foundations
• low carbon finishes

6embody the spirit of the master plan –
creating not just buildings but places that will be
an inspiration to subsequent blocks
• c_life as catalyst for sustainable urbanism
• quality – sensuous architecture creates
well- being for the individual
![Page 14: Sitra's Low2No launch event 1.9.2009](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c1c8cc4a795927478b460b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
People, and their contexts, social
networks, habits and beliefs are crucial
tools for creating sustainable change in
behaviour.
Up to 50% of the carbon footprint is
associated with lifestyle choices.
Approach:
• developing engagement and awareness
strategies
• using technology that assists them in
making decisions
• producing positive reinforcement loops
for people who live, work and visit c_life
• using the community as a knowledge
network to share best practice
• demonstrating leadership
7 empower people:
engage + incentivise + benefit
communicate + lead

The objectives of the transport strategy
are to reduce the need to travel, enhance
mobility and reduce emissions.
Approach:
• incentivise co-location of live and work
• provide low carbon public transport
• provide affordable zero carbon car clubs
on each urban Block

A person living in c_life will be able to
reduce its carbon emissions associated
with food consumption by 30% compared
to a typical person living in Helsinki.
Approach:
• growing up to 50% of your green
vegetables in pocket greenhouses placed
in each dwelling
• shifting to buy local
• changing behaviour.
