Explore the development, construction and plans for the future of Hämeenlinna.
Attractive and successful growth city 2030
Hämeenlinna City Strategy aims for growth and economic development built diversely on the strengths of the city. The vision of the city is to be an attractive and successful growth city 2030, according to which Hämeenlinna is vibrant, growing, safe and community-oriented.
Sustainable lifestyle
A sustainable future is built by the entire city. Residents play an important role in climate work and sustainability. Children and young people, who learn about sustainability at school, are able to create a more sustainable future for themselves and also teach sustainability skills to their parents.
Hämeenlinna for events and tourism
The goal is to build Hämeenlinna into a well-known city of tourism and events, in which the city creates strong opportunities for increasing tourism and organising events, and commits the entire city organization to their long-term development.
First Child Friendly City of Finland
The City of Hämeenlinna was the first in Finland to receive the UNICEF’s Child Friendly City recognition in 2013. We are committed to promoting the rights of the child and building a city in which children and young people can thrive now and in the future.
