Built environment program

The program was made interactively together with the townspeople. In the spring of 2016, an online survey was organized where it was possible to answer questions about the built environment in Riihimäki and to mark objects on the map. The responses were good and the results of the survey were used when preparing the program.

A learning café workshop on the built environment, open to all city residents, was held on Tuesday, March 14, 2017 at the Riihimäki Art Museum. An enthusiastic group of city residents gathered around the tables to discuss the special features of Riihimäki's built environment and areas for development. An extensive article about the workshop was published in Riihimäki's resident magazine, Koti & Kaupunki 1/2017. The results of the discussions on the themes have been summarized:

Summary of the built environment workshop (March 15, 2017)

Feedback on the draft of the built environment programme was available from 19 February to 18 March 2018. In addition, a discussion event was held on the draft programme on 28 February 2018 at the Riihimäki Art Museum. The event began with a presentation of the content of the draft programme and short information sessions highlighting five themes of the programme that residents wanted to discuss in particular: cityscape and art, hubs and landmarks, urban vibrancy, architectural heritage and complementary construction, and urban green space and parks. The draft was finalized for the City Government and City Council based on the feedback received and the comments from the discussion event.

Thanks to all the participants!
