Description
The area of Linnanniemi is situated in a unique location at the converging point of the city center, history, the river and the sea. Although the port is an important part of historical Turku, the port area covering the entire tip of the cape has also separated the city center and the archipelago from each other. According to the current scheme, the reorganization of the ship terminals around 2025 will free up the land area comprising Turku Castle, its surroundings and the western bank of the mouth of the Aura River, which connects the sea and the city.
The Linnanniemi area is connected to the broader maritime context of the developing urban areas near the Aura River and Linnanaukko, which ripples in front of the port. The functions of these areas comprise housing, education, tourism and employment.
The key roles in the development of the Linnanniemi area are played by the strengthening of Turku Castle’s historical value, functional role and status in the city- scape as well as the public urban space that will be freed up thanks to the new joint terminal for ship traffic, along with the active functions that will be built in this space.
The goals
The Linnanniemi of the future will be a hub of year-round urban culture, where you can simultaneously experience history, the sea and archipelago. People are attracted there not only by Turku Castle but also the wide range of services, the outdoor recreation areas extending to the shore, the various maritime functions and the future Museum of History and the Future.
The topics of interest could for example be: Respect of the valuable environment, connection with the sea and the archipelago, vibrant and comfortable environment, Sustainable construction, attractive sites, accessibility, safe and functional mobility, step-by-step development, …
