20. Helsinki – Gradual expansion of regional
cooperation and planning
Smith and Polvinen 1968
• A transport plan introducing a motorway-system in the centre of Helsinki led to a
transport policy that favors public transport.
Transport studies and plans in the 1970’s and 1980’s
• Laid the groundwork for using transport studies in the planning and, for the
regional co-operation and goal-oriented transport strategies.
The beginning of the regional planning process in the 1990’s
• The first regional transport plan PLJ 1994 gave the “shape” for the plan and for
the planning process. PLJ 1998 continued the process.
The expansion of the regional transport planning in the 2000’s
• PLJ 2002 was a more comprehensive plan of the transport system. It led to a
letter of intent (Transport) between the region and the state. PLJ 2007 introduced
a more comprehensive (strategic environmental) assessment of the plan.
• HLJ 2011 expanded the planning area to cover all 14 municipalities in the Helsinki
region (instead of 4 municipalities in the PLJ-plans). It led to a wider letter of
intent (Transport, Land-use, Housing) between the region and the state.

24. Helsinki region is
developed as an
attractive metropolitan
area functioning as an
integrated whole.
The coherent urban
structure of the
metropolitan area
combines multiple
functions and is eco-
efficient.
The dense core area is
surrounded by a network
of district centers each
with their own distinctive
character and close-to-
nature environment.
The transport system based
on sustainable modes of
transport serves the
accessibility of the region
and the competitiveness of
industry and commerce.
The growing region
offers a wide range of
housing options.

Other areas of development for
the municipalities 2016–2050
The development of areas outside the
regional zones which have a strategic
importance in the current plans of the

significant regional investment needs
or hinder the development of the
regional scale at a later time

34. HLJ 2015 is good for the region
Public transport is
used more: its share
of motorized trips
increases by
6 percentage points.
Accessibility
of the region
improves
significantly.
The per journey cost
of public transport
decreases.
The capacity of main
roads is used almost
to the full but hardly
ever exeeded.
An increasing number of people choose
public transport, cycling and walking.

35. Significant environmental impacts
Quiet
areas
are not at risk.
Increase in vehicular traffic increases
accidents but relative to population,
accidents decrease.
The climate target 2030
for the metropolitan area
is achieved.
New land use is
located in noise
zones.
Conditions for a car-free
lifestyle are created but car
dependency continues to be a
challenge.
Air quality may
deteriorate
locally.
The EU climate targets are not
achieved without significant
changes.

36. Summary
In the future the population of the region increases
significantly.
The functioning of the traffic system is ensured by:
• intensifying land use in harmony with transport system.
• examining vehicular traffic pricing as a means of directing mobility
and funding transport system
• improving the service level of public transport in the whole region.

37. Towards next transport
system plan

38. • Prepared together with regional housing and land use
planning processes (MAL agreement)
• Key challenge is to decrease CO2 emissions (with
economically viable solutions)
More compact cities
Bigger share of sustainable modes of transport
Technology will for sure help, but when and how?
• ”Realism and resilience”
Towards next transport system plan

39. MAL 2019 -principles
• More prioritizing in short term (2030) and flexibility in long term (2050)
• Check points and synchronising
• Efficient usage of existing knowledge and focus on planning
• Continuous impact assesment guides the planning process
• Transparency, clarity and justification in interaction
Decision making
Preparation of plan an
impact assessment
Decisions on frames
Specific studies
Preparation of process
Initial studies

40. Themes and studies
Ongoing
• Development of impact assesment: economý and health
• Cycling infra and parking
• Park&ride implementation plan
• Shared vehicles (OECD/ITF)
Planned
• Networked region:
”Trunk network and regional centers”
”Businesses, services and employers outside of centers”
