City of Joensuu

In Joensuu, technology, environmental aesthetics, and ecology have been spectacularly integrated into the urban landscape. In particular, there is a knack for building on two things that surround the city and its inhabitants: light and wood.

In and around the city centre, several places form an easily walkable or cyclable route. This peaceful, unobstructed three-quarter to four-kilometer walk shows how the excellence of Europe’s Forest Capital is manifested in the urban landscape.
