BACKGROUND
Turku is an old city, going
back as far as the 13th
century.
Located between Sweden
and Russia, Finland also
borders the Baltic
Sea, Gulf of Bothnia, and
Gulf of Finland. Finland's
area, at 337,030 square
kilometers (130,127 square
miles).
Turku, Finland’s oldest
city and its former
capital, is dominated by
its winding Aura
river, the reason for its
existence as a port.
POPULATION
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.
THE CITY OF FINLAND
Turku is the main city in its region as well as the
cultural and economic centre of Western Finland.
The city’s profile has changed significantly in recent
decades.
The city has expanded by building residential areas
around the old city.
The city was rebuilt according to a grid pattern of
rectangular blocks in which the relatively broad streets
should prevent raging fires.
The city’s most famous attraction near the mouth of
the river is its well-preserved medieval castle, dating
back to the days when Sweden ruled Finland in the
13th century.
BUILDING
The present physical structure of the inner city is strongly determined by the great city of 1827 that destroyed the predominantly wooden buildings of the old city almost completely.
The rebuilt wooden houses have been replaced nowadays.
• Within the grid by building and blocks of stone and concrete.
The outer walls are painted white with stark, black-framed windows, while inside is an older medieval part with rough stone walls.
Behind the castle’s thick stone walls, interlocking corridors and courtyards offer hints of its glory days in the mid-16th century, when the castle served as the sumptuous court of the Duke of Finland.
Medieval Castle
Turku City Library in
Turku, Finland by
JKMM Architects
Located at the
historical centre of the
city.
The new building is
the latest summation to
a complex with the old
library.
European Oak are widely used in the interior wall furnishing and furniture.
Building structure was constructed from concrete cast on site, which was left exposed as an significant part of the interior design.
Glass was given a seminal role both in the outer architecture and the interior world.
The major sources of
greenhouse gas
emissions in the city.
Turku’sSustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP)
Priority infrastructure solution
• 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
Long term solution
This 2 project very attractive but need substantial work
and funding.
These longer term solutions would build on the immediate
opportunities to create a sustainable transport and energy
infrastructure.
1) Light rail transport
2) Smart Grid : Brings together the electricity and
communications infrastructure to help match supply and
demand.
Other Solution
Geothermal/ground heat : Using heat stored in soil, rock
or water systems, transferred to a water-based heating
system using a heat pump.
Heat machines and chillers : Capture heat that would
otherwise be wasted, either from cooling equipment or
heat production in boilers or power plants, and use it to
warm water for district heating or other purposes.
Public lighting : Technical and operational options can
cut energy use, including sodium-vapor lamps instead of
mercury, LED technology and improved control
systems.
Micro combined heat and power (CHP) :small-scale
power generation producing electricity from heat at low
temperatures using a fluid such as silicon oil instead of
water.
Smart parking: using parking regulation to encourage
lower emissions vehicles and co-modality.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
A way to improve air quality and diminish environmental impact by reducing CO2 and
pollutant emissions via traffic reduction and
optimization.
Light rail gives also an opportunity to
reshape, harmonize and develop a city
An opportunity for Turku to take the path towards a
sustainable transportation system and a wealthy and
livable environment.
The integrated light rail solution is the result of both
the implementation of the light rail and a set of
targeted policies aiming at favouring green
transportation as well as triggering city development.
LIGHT RAIL
Trunk bus network will be implemented inTurku urban region 2011 to 2014, covering suburban Turku and centres of neighbouringmunicipalities
Centres of separate villages function asintermodal interchanges between public transport, walking and cycling
Trunk bus lines to villages are defined :• Skånetrafiken Pendeln a good exampleCentres and periphery of the villages .• Fast and effective public transport linesserve the centres every day from morning to night• Public transport lines can be extendedover the centre to the periphery
TRUNK BUS
SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY
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.gMasku, 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 ManagementMobility management means promotion of:
• Walking and cycling• Public transport• Sustainable car use
BEST PRACTICE BENEFITS
ATTURKU
Benefit From Light Rail Network
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.
Benefits for the city’s competitiveness and attractiveness
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.
REDUCE EMISSIONS
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.
PROPERTY VALUE WILL RISE
The study shows that property values will rise in areas
that are within walking distance of the light rail system
The price increase is expected to occur in 800 meter
buffer zone along the planned light rail lines.
The value estimated would rise about 480 to 850 million
euros in 2035.
