Kauniaisten kaupunki

Kauniainen is one of the four cities of the Capital Region. It is located in the middle of its neighbouring city, Espoo, 15 km west of Helsinki. Typical of Kauniainen, it has managed to preserve its character as a villa and garden city.
Today, the cityscape is dominated by small houses and its close proximity to nature. Kauniainen is the embodiment of a pleasant, modern-day garden city on a small scale. Today's urban planning strives to preserve these very qualities. In addition to its physical characteristics, this city of villas is also a social phenomenon, whose direct access and intimacy are emphasised in a social interaction we call quality of life.

Even though the majority of Kauniainen is already developed, land use planning is a key topic as regards city development in the coming decades. Approved by the City Council in the previous decade, the land use and zoning plan is reviewed annually. At the same time, the measures for preserving the city’s character as a villa and garden city are defined. The population of Kauniainen will increase by about 1% per year in the next few years.

A visible change in the cityscape is the completion of the new city centre. With its completion, the centre now features a shopping centre with a variety of services and a great deal of apartments, all with good transport connections. The goal of establishing a local service centre that caters to the city’s residents has now been achieved.
