The draft of Riihimäki's general plan 2050 to the city council on December 18

In its last meeting of the year on Monday, December 18, the Riihimäki city council will discuss, among other things, the draft of the general plan 2050.

The Riihimäki master plan 2050 revises, updates and supplements the Riihimäki master plan 2017, which entered into force in 2035. The master plan is a general land use and transport plan that guides community development far into the future. In the future, the plan is to review the general plan every second council term.

The Riihimäki general plan 2050 draft has been prepared in accordance with the goals decided by the city government on 19.12.2022 December 2035. The general plan complies with and promotes the goals presented in the city's RakasRiksuXNUMX strategy and ensures that the areas reserved for construction enable the predicted population development and housing production.

The urban structure of the center is being compacted

In the general plan, the current urban structure is supplemented and compacted, especially in the center and station area.

In addition, site zoning has started with the residential area reservations of the Koko and Herajoki general plan that border on the current urban structure. Together, these areas will meet the city's need for housing plots until 2050.

The master plan also prepares for various forecasts of the city's long-term population growth by assigning housing reserve areas to the areas of Arolammi and southern Vahteristo, as well as in relation to the area of ​​the sub-master plan of Kalmu.

These reservations can be realized towards the end of the time period of the general plan, if population development and the need for housing production create the conditions for their implementation in the future.

Business and business plots along the main roads and the track

The general plan also enables increasing the supply of business and commercial plots by reserving workplace areas along main thoroughfares and traffic junctions, as well as along the railway. The schedule and sequence of these areas' implementation are influenced by, among other things, the attractiveness of the areas and business cycles.

After approval by the city council, the draft general plan will be available for the citizens to see in January 2024. When it can be seen, an announcement will be made in Aamuposti and the city's On the General Plan 2050 website.
