This report has been prepared in the frame of the Green-In-TURKU
Project; Towards a Greener Urban Future: Investigating Innovative
Solutions to Increase Livability in the Inner City-Perspectives for the
City of Turku to provide Turku’s city officials with a state-of-the-art
update on global greening strategies across European cities and abroad.
The report introduces fresh perspectives for how cities are promoting
the value in green capital to find solutions to local challenges and it
is the first of three reports scheduled for this project. A second
report A Study of Green And Open Spaces in Turku has been prepared as
part of an in-depth investigation of Turku’s urban structure including
past and present developments in the green front, and it will be
integrated into the project’s final report and spatial analysis with
recommendations for increasing urban vibrancy and livability in the city
center of Turku.
