MDI Navigates Eastern Uusimaa in Developing Archipelago

Eastern Uusimaa, locating right next to Helsinki, has developed its archipelago with a developing programme since 2012. Beautiful archipelago has enormous potential in, for example, tourism, but as a development environment it is not one of the easiest as there are growing tensions between different interests and also the development funding is in a flux. MDI helps the Local Development Company Posintra to draw a “navigational chart” to develop coastal areas of Porvoo, Sipoo and Loviisa. Chart will help local actors as well developers to navigate to the future. Work will be ready in March 2015.
