HELSINKI OF TOMORROW

Born and raised in Helsinki, I learned to appreciate quality education that is available to everyone and urban planning that works against social segregation. No matter your profession, income or background – Helsinki is a city for us all.

The wellbeing of the people, affordable housing and maintaining ecological diversity must be our main political goals 

As a member of the city council and the urban environment committee I have been working especially with issues of housing, urban planning, climate and equality. It’s important for me to maintain ambitious goals like free public transport and a six hour working day, and at the same time focus on solving very local day to day political problems in the citys neighbourhoods.

Both the Left Alliance and I have raised the ambition and courage of politics in Helsinki and I would love to continue doing just that.

Goals:

• Affordable and comfortable housing for all and an end to homelessness. Double the amount of city rental housing.  

• Climate emissions are further reduced through principles of circular economy. Traffic emissions reduced by promoting public transport and making it free. Larger investments on renewable energy. 

• Helsinki becomes the country’s best employer and pays all workers a minimum of 2000 euro monthly wage and reduces working hours to 6 hour days. 
• Urban planning is driven by the citizens needs of welcoming public spaces in stead of the investors profit goals. Privatized welfare services is taken back into public ownership.
