Helsinki's answer to regeneration

I thought there was no such thing as "regeneration" in Finland, and was beginning to have concerns about terminology and how to communicate my research in Finnish to the authorities in Helsinki.

Whilst regeneration may not quite have the same meaning as in the UK in a political-cultural sense, I today discovered that "lahiouudistus" refers to the regeneration of inner city areas. Phew!

Helsinki has modelled their "regeneration" after the Agenda21 model, thus following the mainstream conception of the "triple bottom line" : 1) social 2) economic 3) environmental outcomes.
