6. Vision/ political approach Arrow head The strategy work on City structure is based on regional sustainable development and leads to ecological construction. A pilot of low energy use residential area will be planned, in which guidelines are provided for sustainable construction e.g. ecological ways of heat production, building directions and insulating layer thickness. Ecological city environment is part of corporate social responsibility. Sustainable production and procurement measures are supported e.g. in offices, institutes and businesses. Large circles are gathered for procurement. The growth of waste and emissions are alleviated and recycling increased . Better mobility decreases traffic. Public traffic, walking and bicycling are increased, keeping focus in commuting to work and school. Natural resources, nature’s values and scenery are preconditions for recreation and well-being. Biodiversity, air quality, water bodies and landscape structure have to be taken into consideration in planning the community. The City supports social equity and justice. Actions developing collective society are supported: - tolerance - socially diverse city structure and - employment.
