City of Seinäjoki

Finland

Seinäjoki is on the top of the list of Finnish growth centres. The city is presently experiencing rapid growths and developments. There are almost 67 000 inhabitans, and there is a total population of about 150 000 including the surrounding communities. The comfortable urban environment, short distances between services and amenities and diverse options for accommodation are characteristic to the city’s everyday life. As the centre of the sixth largest market area in Finland, the city offers very competitive and inviting trade services too. Seinäjoki offers high-quality education all the way up to university-level studies. Seinäjoki is well known for hosting large and varied events. You can experience the thrill and rhythm of live music through gigs at Rytmikorjaamo. The city library Apila is a charming experience for its visitors. We have space for big ideas and the makers of the future.

The City of Seinäjoki is participating in the RETHINK project to gain in-depth knowledge of the New European Bauhaus guidelines and collaborate with international partners. We aim to analyze and implement sustainable, inclusive, and aesthetically pleasing urban designs while celebrating cultural diversity and local traditions. We are also eager to learn from and share experiences with other cities involved in the project, fostering a collaborative environment that promotes innovation and best practices.
Through this collaboration, we hope to achieve innovative and sustainable urban development, enriched by shared knowledge and best practices from our international partners, while fostering a strong sense of community and cultural appreciation.
