Let\u2019s Build Hope for the Future<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We must offer young generations such stable living conditions that everyone dares to dream and make plans for the future. Whether it\u2019s thinking about starting a family, owning a home, securing a permanent job, or changing careers \u2013 let\u2019s make Helsinki a hometown that sustains and supports these dreams and plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equal opportunities start with ensuring that even the youngest children receive support based on need, not wealth. The path from early education to higher education can be unique for each individual, yet still safe and motivating for all. Let\u2019s increase access to free extracurricular activities. Everyone should have the opportunity to take a break and get help when needed. Let\u2019s keep primary care visits free of charge and explore new ways to improve access to healthcare services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable Lifestyle in a Global City<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A global city should be full of opportunities, empowering people to work, study, engage in hobbies, and pursue their passions \u2013 regardless of their background. It should be possible to integrate into the city when moving in from anywhere in the world. Here, one can stay for a moment or build a lifetime. Let\u2019s also recognize the new opportunities that many bring with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lifestyle that reflects one\u2019s own preferences should be possible to create anywhere in Helsinki. A car is not needed, and commuting is not exhausting when we build the city by placing schools, libraries, stores, and sports facilities within walking distance from home. No one should be left without a home. Let\u2019s provide homes for all kinds of personal circumstances - from multiple-birth families to people living by themselves. Let\u2019s keep housing prices affordable by increasing diverse housing production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s Fit Our Lifestyle to Nature\u2019s Limits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nature belongs here, even if no one visits it. It is part of our city and essential for life on earth. Instead of cutting down forests, let\u2019s grow and preserve more of them. Let\u2019s also preserve our parks and the Baltic Sea. Let\u2019s ensure that everyone can see trees from their windows and access nearby nature on foot. When nature thrives, so do people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must take concrete actions towards a carbon-neutral Helsinki, such as shutting down coal power plants, and building railways and bike paths instead of parking lots. Let\u2019s help housing companies transition to renewable energy heating solutions and carry out energy renovations in the city\u2019s buildings. Let\u2019s further increase the amount of vegetarian food and strengthen the circular economy, instead of a throwaway economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
