Urban researCHThe Urban Research Unit conducts applied research for the
administration of the City of Helsinki, for the citizens and for
enterprises located in Helsinki. Research areas include population
and housing, living conditions, regional and municipal economy,
city administration and civic participation, urban culture and urban
environment.
There is an increasing demand for comparative and evalua-
tive studies. Such studies are often conducted in cooperation with
other research organisations. The general outline and key research
projects are defined in City of Helsinki’s Research Programme, as
approved by the City Board. Important aspects of studies include
not only practicality but also scientific validity and close links to
basic research.
RESEARCHED INFORMATION
Publications are the most important channel for distributing
research findings. Publications in the Research and Study Reports
series are published online. Most of them also appear in print.
The Kvartti quarterly (including the English-language Helsinki
Quarterly) as well as the special publications on various topics
are published both online and in print.
The researchers in the Unit also function as experts and give
lectures at various forums in Finland and abroad. The general
public can learn more about research findings in the media.
The Urban Research Unit also coordinates and promotes re-
search that studies Helsinki in its entirety. In addition, the Unit pre-
pares the decisions for granting the City’s research scholarships,
the Helsinki City Scientific Award and awards for academic theses.

A DIVERSE RANGE OF URBAN STATISTICS
The Unit for Statistics and Information Services prepares and
publishes basic and thematic statistics, maintains and develops
statistical databases and registers, offers materials describing
the City and its operations to be used by others and provides
information services.
The city statistics describe the current state and develop-
ment of the city as well as life of its inhabitants. District statis-
tics bring information closer to the inhabitants. Regional and
international statistical comparisons describe Helsinki and the
Helsinki region compared with other Finnish or European cities.
Basic statistics are published regularly on topics such as
population, housing and construction, business life and jobs,
workforce and employment, training, income and services. The
population forecast is prepared annually, and thematic statistics
are drawn up on various topical issues. The first Statistical Year-
book of Helsinki came out in 1908.
The Unit for Statistics and Information Services participates
in international statistics cooperation. Partners include interna-
tional organisations and associations as well as European cities.
Furthermore, Scandinavian cooperation has long traditions.© C

KOHTI AURINKOISTA TULEVAISUUTTA
Kunnissa laadittiin 1970- ja 80-luvilla keskipitkän ja pitkän tähtäyksen suunnitelmia. Niiden tilalle tuli 90-luvulla strateginen suunnittelu. Samalla otettiin käyttöön uusi kieli. Vanhat PTS:n tavoitteet muuttuivat strategisiksi päämääriksi. Nykyään kaikki laativat strategioita - oikeastaan kaikki on yhtä strategiaa. Asia on tärkeä vasta kun sen eteen voi liittää sanan strateginen.
Tietokeskuksen erikoistutkija Heikki Helin ja Jyväskylä strategiajohtaja Sakari Möttönen kokosivat 11 suurimman kaupungin strategiat. Kuntien strategioiden silmiinpistävin piirre on niiden samankaltaisuus.
Koosteesta herää monenlaisia kysymyksiä: Miksi erilaisissa kunnissa on hyvin samankaltaiset strategiat? Miksi strategioissa ei näy huolen häviävääkään? Kuntien tulevaisuus on pelkää aurinkoa. Käsitelläänkö strategioissa vain kivoja ja helppoja ongelmia, mutta todelliset, ilkeät, vaikeat ja tärkeät ongelmat eivät mahdu nykyisen strategiamallin muottiin? Miksi strategioita tehdään? Mikä merkitys strategioilla ylipäänsä on?

ing companies.
Records management also includes guidance and advice
to the City’s public agencies and public corporations concerning
archival matters and participation in various projects to develop
the management of documents.

system Ahjo, located in the Meritalo building, are also part of the
City Archives.
DOCUMENTS FROM YEARS GONE BY
In all, the collections of the City Archives include approximately
14 shelf kilometres of documents, the oldest of which date back to
1569. Uninterrupted document series begin in the early 18th century.
In the Researchers’ Room of the City Archives, researchers can
study archive collections and receive help from the staff. The SINETTI
archive database is maintained for conducting searches in archive
collections and their documents, and the City Archives has also
digitised printed document collections of municipal administration.
These can be found at: www.hel.fi/hki/tieke/en/City+Archives.
The City Archives contributes to bringing Helsinki’s past to the public
knowledge through articles, lectures and exhibitions.
