all competitions

During 2011, the municipality of Sipoo will host an open international planning competition for a sustainable community in Sibbesborg.

The competition area is situated in the municipality of Sipoo, around Söderkulla urban district and the Sipoonlahti area. The aim of the competition is to put forward a plan for a community of up to 70,000 – 100,000 residents, with the main emphasis on the centre. In addition to this, the target is to outline the first steps in the extensive implementation process.

The competition and its scope are based on the Sipoo 2025 Master Plan and the municipality’s expansion strategy which is a response to the overall development targets for the Helsinki region, an area which is one of the fastest growing urban regions within the European Union. The development of Sibbesborg, which lies at the heart of the region’s eastern development corridor, will be based on future rail connections. The development of the area as a compact and functioning community, building on its powerful landscape and cultural identity, offers a rich opportunity for the region as a whole.
