Helsinki has earmarked nearly 700 million euros for infrastructure projects in 2026 alone and will invest several billion euros over the next ten years. The plans include major street renovations in the city centre, expanded rail and light rail projects, improved water management and upgrades to parks and public spaces.

“These infrastructure projects are essential, as the city needs modern infrastructure to function,” says Mayor of Helsinki Daniel Sazonov. “More infrastructure works are due to start in the city centre in the coming years than perhaps ever before.”

The investments will enable the city to grow sustainably while responding to trade and industry needs and contributing to the functional everyday life of residents.
