In the Vantaa case, the participatory scenario-building process was utilised to tackle the potential safety and security risks pertaining to the surroundings and area of the railway station at the city of Vantaa. Vantaa is a rapidly growing city alongside the capital of Finland Helsinki. It is the fourth biggest city in Finland having around 215.000 inhabitants (statistical data from the year 2015). It is home to a growing railway station and the Helsinki-Vantaa airport.
One key objective of the HARMONISE project was to engage end users in urban resilience planning and development. The project consisted of five case studies throughout Europe. The Finnish case study aimed at finding out possible futures of the districts around the new railway station area in the centrum of Vantaa city. The area has been under a broad construction work. The new railway station building and rail traffic connections to the airport, local bus station area, and the first part of the large office as well as a new shopping centre have been built. The number of rail and bus traffic passengers is expected to notably rise, and there is a clear need for paying attention to safety and security issues in the area.
The main goal of the Vantaa case study was to support the strategy building process of the city. The generation of plausible future scenarios was done by …show more content…
The main question was: What kind of place the railway station area will be in the year 2025? For the workshop, the participants were divided into four groups. Each group studied the possible future from one specific point of view of the scenario frame, which can be seen in figure 2: Community-Soft, Community-Hard, Individual-Soft and Individual-Hard. In the workshop, each group discussed and discovered examples of potential urban culture and habitable, safety, and resiliency at the case
