The planning programme for 2025–2027 enables an economically sustainable and vibrant city, high-quality resident-oriented services, helps prevent inequality, and ensures resource efficiency and carbon neutrality.
Overall, the programme includes 140 zoning projects that will produce nearly 1,800,000 square metres of floor area during the programme period. For 2025, more than 83,000 m² of residential floor area, nearly 90,000 m² of workplace floor area, and nearly 73,000 m² of service floor area are scheduled for completion.
During the programme period, approximately 34% of all new residential floor area (over 460,000 m²) will be located within the sustainable growth corridor of the Vantaa light rail, totalling over 600,000 m² of new floor area.
Progress in functional equality and non-discrimination work monitored through interim report
The City Board also noted for information an interim report on the city’s functional equality and non-discrimination work. The board approved the plan on 28 February 2022 and requested an interim report on the implementation during the current strategy period.
The functional plan is based on the requirements of the Equality Act and the Non-Discrimination Act. It includes vision-level goals and measures to achieve them.
The city-level plan aims to develop Vantaa as an organisation into an even stronger promoter of non-discrimination, equality and equal opportunities. Divisions, service areas and units derive their own measures from the city-level plan, adapting them to their services and integrating them into broader planning and development.
