About Helsinki ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsinki
Vuosaari - the suburb where I live ...
Vuosaari (Swedish: Nordsjö) is a district in the City of Helsinki, Finland. It is located by the sea in East Helsinki, and with its area of 15.38 km² is geographically the largest district in the city. It also has two Helsinki Metro stations, Rastila and Vuosaari
Vuosaari is one of the fastest-growing areas in Helsinki. The number of inhabitants has been increasing rapidly since early 1990s, and continues to grow as new residential areas are being built. Currently (1.1.2006) the number of people living in Vuosaari is 33,500, and it is estimated that by 2010 it will be around 40,000.
Among other things, Vuosaari is noted for its nature and large, relatively unspoilt recreational seashore areas. One of these is Uutela, a popular nature park located in the southeastern corner of Vuosaari. The continual planning of new residential zones has in fact raised criticism, as many people would rather preserve Vuosaari's closeness to nature.
Vuosaari is the location of a new major seaport in Helsinki, the Vuosaari Harbour. Its construction has started and it should be ready for use in 2008. The new harbour project remains another subject of some controversy even after the decision to build it was made in 2002.
As of 2005 7,7% of the population of Vuosaari are foreign citizens and 11,6% have been born outside of Finland. This has given the neighborhood an overtly multi-cultural image in Finnish folklore, even though the percentage is higher in many other places in the Capital Region.
These photos are taken by me and they are taken from the street where I live
