General planning

The master plan resolves community structural and land use issues that affect the functionality and economy of the urban structure for decades. The general plan embodies the city's strategic policies regarding land use goals and is a good tool for strategic planning. The general plan guides more detailed planning, such as station planning.

Developing and maintaining an urban structure that serves housing, leisure and business life requires the preparation of a general plan covering the entire city and the definition of up-to-date strategic goals. Long-term strategic planning is important for the city's sustainable growth and development.

  • At Riihimäki, master plan work is done on the principle of continuous planning. The general plan is revised, updated and supplemented on a rolling basis. It can be done, for example, with sub-master plan-level land use plans and general and development plans, or with themes covering the entire city. Continuous general planning gives an up-to-date overall picture of the city's land use development. It helps in scheduling and preparing for more detailed design projects.

General formulas in force

The general plan 2013 prepared during the years 2017–2035 became law on 20.8.2017 August 2035. General Plan 2010 is valid except for the following unapproved area reservation markings: the large MUY area of ​​Paalijärvi - Hirvijärvi, the extension of the nature reserve at the north end of Suolijärvi, the nature reserve of Paalijoki canyon and the expansion areas of the community structures of Arolammi and Monni stations. In these areas, the Riihimäki general plan 9.6.1997 is valid (KV 87 § XNUMX), with the exception of the extension of the protected area at the northern end of Suolijärvi and the protected area of ​​the Paalijoki canyon.

Partial formulas

  • A new residential area with services is planned for Kalmu in the master plan. The goal in the zoning work has been to secure housing and recreation needs and to preserve landscape, nature and cultural values. The partial master plan has a legal effect and is the basis for the area's subsequent site planning, which takes place in stages. Getting a new residential area into use is important from the point of view of the city's production of detached houses.
