Kera city core area is located in traffic node including interlocking railway, tram, street and bicycle network. The design will connect adjacent offices areas to central park, via core area's retail and other services e.g. new school centre. Design is based on central park connecting to surrounding green areas. Blocks and circular street network are gathered around the central park. Kera area is designed to be walkable city area, where sustainable development acts as guiding line.
Large logistics halls were converted to versatile temporary use for sports, urban food production, breweries, restaurants, events and urban art. The life span of the halls was extended, the area was kept active and the awareness of the Kera Area was increased. The halls will be replaced with new urban functions in stages.
