Why will villages be a more attractive and sustainable living environment in the future? How can a representative and easy-to-maintain green village environment be implemented?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome to the Green Village at the Gate event on Wednesday, November 26, 2025 at 5:30 PM at Rytmikorjaamo (Vaasantie 11, Sein\u00e4joki). Come hear, discuss and be inspired by how villages can be made more vibrant, sustainable and comfortable.<\/p>\n

Professor Emeritus Esko Valtaoja<\/strong> opens up the vistas that open from the gate, what the future of villages might look like in a changing world. Provincial Architect Annukka Kuoppala<\/strong> provides practical tips for designing a beautiful and low-maintenance village environment.<\/p>\n

Growth centers are the past, villages are the future<\/strong>
\nEsko Valtaoja, Professor Emeritus<\/p>\n

Evolution has shaped us into social herd animals, village dwellers. Through ever-improving technology, the village of the future will be able to offer people everything that a city offers \u2013 and even more, peace, life, nature, ecology, culture and all the services we crave in our natural habitat.<\/p>\n

Work is no longer the center of our lives as it once was. Our wealth and freedom are increasing, while we work less and less. We are also increasingly free to choose where we live based on where we really want to live. The era of growth centers is coming to an end, as the population stops growing and fewer and fewer people are forced to live within walking or bus distance of their workplace.<\/p>\n
