Vallila has enormous untapped potential. The former industrial and office area near the city center has fallen into disuse in recent years. Even if renovated, empty offices will not attract new customers, but by changing their purpose, they will be replaced by apartments and services for all city residents. New residents and services will bring a new kind of life to Vallila. Helsinki is growing, and we should make the most of all the good locations. Empty buildings are not a sustainable solution from an environmental perspective either.
