Front page News News Our Happy City Hour in Hämeenlinna Urban Forum Our Happy City Hour in Hämeenlinna Urban Forum 23.9.2014 Urban Forum XVI in Hämeenlinna focused on Smart movement – and growth it generates. The benchmarking work on Helsinki-Hämeenlinna-Tampere growth corridor conducted by MDI earlier this year engendered ideas especially in session focusing on development of railway stations and transport, chaired by MDI’s Urban Policy Senior Advisor Eero Holstila.

Urban Forum felt a bit like family reunion – so many current and former MDI partners, colleagues and friends were among 300 participants.
