täydennysrakentamiseen

It involves constructing new buildings on underutilized or vacant land within existing urban or suburban areas, rather than developing on undeveloped greenfield sites. This approach aims to utilize existing infrastructure, such as roads, utilities, and public transport, more efficiently. Täydennysrakentaminen can take various forms, including the development of empty lots, the demolition and replacement of obsolete structures, or the conversion of non-residential buildings into housing. The primary goals of täydennysrakentaminen are to promote sustainable urban growth, reduce urban sprawl, revitalize existing neighborhoods, and increase housing density. It often involves a careful consideration of the existing urban fabric, architectural context, and community needs to ensure new developments are well-integrated and contribute positively to the area. Municipalities often implement planning regulations and incentives to encourage and guide täydennysrakentaminen. This strategy is seen as a way to create more vibrant, walkable, and environmentally friendly urban environments.
