The driving forces behind a thriving city

An aggressive vision for the year 2020, meant that this thriving city needed to increase its appeal by offering a more open, progressive and friendly environment for people to live, work and visit. The city also needed fresher ways to engage more people to make their vision a reality.

Taking our cues from nature

The feeling became evident to us. Here, in Kuopio, it seems as if everyone knows a secret about life. It’s apparent in our daily lives, in every human interaction. It’s felt, in the warmth of our homes, in the rhythm of the city, in our natural surroundings and in our nightlife. At this point we realized that these were exactly the things that needed to be said about the City of Kuopio. Our City of Kuopio.
