Urban living room in Hämeensaari
The urban living room is an environment in which culture, leisure time and services, as well as nature come together as an entity that activates residents and supports their well-being. The aim is to find a mindset shared by municipal actors, organisations and companies that will catalyse collaboration and concrete event production in the area of Hämeensaari, which has been underused for a long time, and to enhance understanding of the needs of special groups.
The urban living room also serves as a platform for pop-up events. The coronavirus ‘paralysis’ has made people stay at home and isolate themselves; the urban living room creates a framework for promoting activity and inclusion. The pilot furthers the objectives of Hämeenlinna's carbon neutrality programme by providing information, encouragement for adopting a sustainable lifestyle and a platform for activities.
