The best ideas come from us. OurCity.

OmaStadi is Helsinki's way of implementing participatory budgeting. In OmaStadi, you can submit proposals and, through voting, decide how the city uses €10 million. A new round starts in the autumn of 2025, and you can submit proposals on this website from September 22nd to October 5th, 2025. The city will implement the proposals that receive the most votes.

Itäinen saaristoreitti laajenee – OmaStadi-​hanke tuo helsinkiläisille uusia ulkoilusaaria sekä pääsyn Itä-​Helsingistä keskustaan vesiteitse

Itäinen saaristoreitti laajenee 1. kesäkuuta alkaen. Uusi lähtö- ja päätepiste sijaitsee Kruununhaassa Meritullintorilla ja lisäksi alus pysähtyy jatkossa Läntisellä Neitsytsaarella, Malkasaarella ja Kotiluodossa, joihin on aiemmin päässyt ainoastaan omalla vesikulkuneuvolla. Reitin laajentumisen mahdollistaa kulttuurin ja vapaa-ajan toimialan OmaStadi-hanke.

Nyt valmistunut peruskorjaus toteutettiin rakennuksen rakennushistoriallista arvoa kunnioittaen.

Sauna at the Aurinkolahti winter swimming spot

The Aurinkolahti winter swimming spot could be improved with a sauna. Many people need a sauna in order to be able to take a dip in the ice water. A sauna would increase communality and provide a natural environment for chatting.
