BACKGROUND

Turku is an old city, going back as far as the 13th

century .Located between Sweden

and Russia, Finland also borders the Baltic Sea,

Gulf of Bothnia, and Gulf of Finland. Finland's area,

at 337,030 square kilometers (130,127 square

miles).

Page 3: Finland Turku

Turku, Finland’s oldest city and its former

capital, is dominated by its winding Aura river,

the reason for its existence as a port.

Page 4: Finland Turku

POPULATION

The population of Turku was 177 606 in the year 2010, which makes it the fifth largest city in Finland

by population .There were roughly 303 500 inhabitants living in the

Turku sub-region in the year 2007, which makes it the third largest urban area in Finland after the Greater Helsinki area and Tampere sub-region.

THE CITY OF FINLAND

Turku is the main city in its region as well as the cultural and economic centre of Western Finland.

The city’s profile has changed significantly in recent decades .

The city has expanded by building residential areas around the old city.

The city was rebuilt according to a grid pattern of rectangular blocks in which the relatively broad streets

should prevent raging fires .

Page 6: Finland Turku

The city’s most famous attraction near the mouth of the river is its well-preserved medieval castle, dating

back to the days when Sweden ruled Finland in the 13th century .

BUILDING

The present physical structure of the inner city is strongly determined by the great city of 1827 that

destroyed the predominantly wooden buildings of the old city

almost completely .The rebuilt wooden

houses have been replaced nowadays .

• Within the grid by building and blocks of stone and concrete.

Page 8: Finland Turku

The outer walls are painted white with stark,

black-framed windows, while inside is an older

medieval part with rough stone walls.

Behind the castle’s thick stone walls, interlocking

corridors and courtyards offer hints of its glory days in the mid-16th

century, when the castle served as the sumptuous

court of the Duke of Finland.

Turku City Library in Turku, Finland by JKMM Architects

Located at the historical centre of the

city.The new building is

the latest summation to a complex with the old

library .

European Oak are widely used in the interior wall furnishing and

furniture .Building structure was

constructed from concrete cast on site, which was left exposed as

an significant part of the interior design.

Glass was given a seminal role both in the outer architecture and the

interior world.

Turku’sSustainable Energy Action

Plan (SEAP)

Page 13: Finland Turku

Priority infrastructure solution

•Downsize vehicle fleets and infrastructure in the city centre and upgrade vehicles to zero emission technology

Green logistic

•Encourage P&R, guide drivers to the best parking places, charge for entry to congested areas, and car and bike sharing.

Traffic management

•The gas can be piped for use directly as a burnable fuel or used to power an electricity generator.

Biogas

•Enable energy efficiency in new buildings and renovations

Long term solution

This 2 project very attractive but need substantial work and funding.

These longer term solutions would build on the immediate opportunities to create a sustainable transport

and energy infrastructure.

)1Light rail transport

2 )Smart Grid : Brings together the electricity and communications infrastructure to help match supply and

demand.

Page 15: Finland Turku

Other Solution

Geothermal/ground heat : Using heat stored in soil, rock or water systems, transferred to a water-based heating

system using a heat pump .Heat machines and chillers : Capture heat that would

otherwise be wasted, either from cooling equipment or heat production in boilers or power plants, and use it to

warm water for district heating or other purposes.

Page 16: Finland Turku

Public lighting : Technical and operational options can cut energy use, including sodium-vapor lamps instead of

mercury, LED technology and improved control systems.

Micro combined heat and power )CHP) :small-scale power generation producing electricity from heat at low temperatures using a fluid such as silicon oil instead of

water.Smart parking: using parking regulation to encourage

lower emissions vehicles and co-modality.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Page 18: Finland Turku

A way to improve air quality and diminish

environmental impact by reducing CO2 and

pollutant emissions via traffic reduction and

optimization.

Light rail gives also an opportunity to reshape, harmonize and develop

a city

An opportunity for Turku to take the path towards a sustainable transportation system

and a wealthy and livable environment.

The integrated light rail solution is the result of

both the implementation of the light rail and a set of

targeted policies aiming at favouring green

transportation as well as triggering city

development.

LIGHT RAIL

Page 19: Finland Turku

Trunk bus network will be implemented inTurku urban region 2011 to 2014, covering suburban Turku and centres of neighbouringmunicipalities

Centres of separate villages function asintermodal interchanges between public transport, walking and cycling

Trunk bus lines to villages are defined :• Skånetrafiken Pendeln a good exampleCentres and periphery of the villages .• Fast and effective public transport linesserve the centres every day from morning to night• Public transport lines can be extendedover the centre to the periphery

TRUNK BUS

SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY

Page 21: Finland Turku

Edges of central area (e.g. Varissuo-Littoinen)• Cycling and public transport should continue to the edge and be competitive with car• Local services reachable by walking

Separate built-up areas (e.g Masku, Nousiainen, Mynämä• It should be possible to walk or cycle all trips within the area all year round• There should be an attractive cycling and public transport connection to the centre.

Outside built-up areas• It should be possible to connect to public transport by car or bicycle at the nearest built-up areas.

From the central areas• Important recreational sites, workplaces and services should be reachable by cycling or public transport, possibly depending on the season

To the central areas• Transports into the central areas should not congest the main nodes into the City of Turku or in the regional road network• It must be possible to connect to the public transport at the edges of the congested area

Mobility ManagementMobility management means promotion of:

• Walking and cycling• Public transport• Sustainable car use

BEST PRACTICE BENEFITS

ATTURKU

Page 24: Finland Turku

Benefit From Light Rail NetworkIt is the cooperation with the city of Turku and Siemens.The study evaluated the effects a light rail network would

have on Turku from an ecological and economic point of view.

An integrated light rail solution would reduce carbon emission by 11 percent by 2035.

Properties value alongside the network would increase by an estimated total of 480 to 850 million euro in

conservative scenario.

Page 25: Finland Turku

Benefits for the city’s competitiveness

and attractivenessIncrease in the use of public transport can reduce the gas

emissions.The integrated light rail solution would increase the

number of public transport trips in Turku by 40 percent before 2035.

A third of the residents of Turku will live along the planned light rail system in 2035.

Page 26: Finland Turku

REDUCE EMISSIONS

It is estimated that CO2 emissions from vehicle traffic in Turku will rise by 25 percent, 130,000 tons by 2035.

Approximately 88 percent of emissions come from cars and 12 percent from buses.

The integrated light rail solution would reduce CO2 from vehicles by 11 percent by year 2035.

Corresponding to an emission level of 110,000 tons.

Page 27: Finland Turku

The integrated light rail solution would reduce NOx by an additional 12 percent to about 250 tons in 2035.

One light rail carriage is equivalent to 40 cars and two buses.

Page 28: Finland Turku

PROPERTY VALUE WILL RISE

The study shows that property values will rise in areas that are within walking distance of the light rail system

The price increase is expected to occur in 800 meter buffer zone along the planned light rail lines.

The value estimated would rise about 480 to 850 million euros in 2035.
