Important political topics
Housing and Construction
The city needs both residents and workplaces, and these must be in balance. People should be able to live and work in Helsinki and be able to travel smoothly between home and work. Public transport should be developed, but people should also be able to move smoothly by bike or, if necessary, by car. Environmental and cultural values should be taken into account in city planning, and development should be based on long-term sustainability.
The best schools
The school should be accessible and maintain high-quality teaching. Schools and early childhood education should be secured in the family's local environment, and the need for schools and early childhood education in Finnish, Swedish, and other languages should be considered in the planning of new residential areas. To ensure the availability of qualified personnel, there must also be affordable housing in our city.
Equality and Equity
In Helsinki, everyone should be able to live, work, and reside on equal terms, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, faith, origin, or skin color. Zero tolerance for discrimination and equal pay for equal work. Newcomers to Finland should have the opportunity to integrate in either Swedish or Finnish.

Renewable energy is important and should be achievable. The city is making significant investments in renewable energy, but we also need redundancy in the form of backup power, and some older facilities need to be preserved and modernized for this purpose.

The municipality should mix more housing types in planning than is currently the case.
Different forms of housing are already quite well considered in planning, but could still be developed further.
10 / 11
