Day 4 of the #Helsinki2025 #HealthyUrbanPolicy study tour took us to the district of Malmi.

We learned about the health promotion related to physical activity in Malmi from City staff Lilja Grönroos and Meri Virta.

💡 The day gave us much to reflect on, including how cross-sector collaboration between researchers, planners, and communities is essential to creating healthier cities.

From urban design and placemaking to transportation systems and cycling infrastructure, we explored how Helsinki weaves public health, sustainability, and equity into every layer of city planning.
