Vuosaari

The large green areas, the sea and the beaches have made Vuosaari an important recreational area for Helsinki's inhabitants. Rastila camping ground is also located here.

Vuosaaari has remains of Bronze Age habitation. A housing estate with scattered blocks of flats was built in the area in the mid 1960s.

After the closure of Valmet's shipyard, its grounds were reserved for a new goods harbour for the City of Helsinki.

The city's new earth gas driven power station is also located here. A second period of housing construction started in Vuosaari with Meri-Rastila in 1989.

Today, construction is continued in, e.g., Vuosaari’s centre and in Kallahti. A total of 38.000 people will eventually live in Vuosaari, whose local centre around the metro station will become an importanthub of commercial and public services, workplaces and housing – something of a daughter city in Helsinki.
