Turku is a city on the southwest coast of Finland at the mouth of the Aura River.

Turku, as a town, was settled during the 13th century and founded most likely at the end of the 13th century, making it the oldest city in Finland

It quickly became the most important city in Finland, a status it retained for hundreds of years.

After Finland became part of the Russian Empire (1809), and the capital of the Grand Duchy of Finland was moved to Helsinki (1812), Turku continued to be the most populous city in Finland, until the end of the 1840s.

Today it remains a regional capital and an important business and cultural center.

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.

For a city of its size, Turku has a moderate public transport network of bus routes, which is comparable to bus network of similar-sized Tampere.

The bus network is managed and supervised by the City of Turku Public Transport Office and is operated mainly by private companies

Regional buses are operated by private companies, most importantly TLO, with very frequent services especially to the neighbouringcities of Naantali, Raisio, and Kaarina

• 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

Building control and management

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 management means promotion of:

• Walking and cycling• Public transport• Sustainable car use

It 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.

Increase 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.

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.

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.
