Helsinki is currently undergoing the largest change in its history. In recent several cargo ports and industrial zones were transferred from the city centre different locations out of the city, vacating hundreds of hectares of waterfront area for redevelopment. Until a few years ago, the vast territory was nothing more than a district of docks, warehouses, and hangars. During the 2000s the city administration devised a plan to transform the seaside area. The plan involved creating new residential development and a park with a well-designed social infrastructure to replace old industrial buildings. The first wave of renovation arrived in 2015: as part of Avanto Architects’ project, numerous bars and restaurants with wooden verandas, a stage, and a beach opened in the area.
