Inhabited milieu's challenges The Europan 18 competition for the Vähäheikkilä site seeks examples of possible approaches to the future development of these areas. Between the housing estates, a strip of undeveloped land and small industrial buildings remains in the competition site, partly unplanned and unfinished in appearance. Among small industrial plots there is a green area, once reserved for a potential road which is no longer needed. The competition area lacks a common identity that would link its parts into a whole.
