Helsinki Archipelago Town Hall Ness Lafoy

摘要

The archipelago around Helsinki is dotted with tiny pine-covered islands, many inhabited by just one or two households. Altogether, the 455 islands are home to over 50,000 people. Most of the inhabitants live without transport links to the mainland, telephone lines or internet connection, so there has been an influx back to the mainland in recent years. The Helsinki Archipelago Town Hall would be a mainland hub for islanders, a warm clubhouse with accommodation for overnight trips to the capital. It also aims to improve connections between mainland and archipelago by introducing a postal service to remote outposts and providing a place for the Island Council to meet so that they can begin to improve transport links and promote the islands to ensure they are not forgotten.
