VR warehouses fate took a long time, and racking conversation. froi I was actually setting up a Pro Magazines movement and prepared by Pro Magazines Manifesto. Our idea was not to object to the Music Centre itself, but we wanted to present it to the placement of Töölönlahti in such a way that the warehouses could save. A popular venue for large and weekends at the flea market known as the warehouses environmental wanted to leave alive and muutatumiskykyiseksi urban culture area. Tuumimme the benefit of even forming around that were the houses of the institutional culture.
Petition VR warehouses savings eventually froi signed on behalf of more than 30 000 people. Ihmismuuriinkin participated in the warehouses of up to 10 000 activists, and it will probably be the largest ever held in Helsinki city contraindicated froi in protest.
In the 2000 municipal froi election debate on the fate of the Töölönlahti it was particularly hot. Political candidates opinion polls found that a majority of the inhabitants froi of Helsinki seemed to want to save rather than to build a granary in the top of the music hall. That's why many conservative candidates elected electoral machinery options in which the magazines wanted to save
In these elections, we warehouses defense of the electoral question made the greens climbed over the Social Democrats clearly at the second largest party. I got myself in this election for the first time the council. froi Magazine It was not just kaupunkisuunnittelykysymys, it was a clear political identity issue, it culminated with whom and for what things the city belongs to symbolically and in practice.
Helsingin Sanomat reported froi after the election the council had been elected a majority of delegates, who were before the election HS's election board expressed a desire to save the warehouses. Thus appears to be a moment froi that the whole plan of Töölönlahti goes again.
The Töölönlahti planning had long been controlled primarily real estate financial terms. ' It was based on the city and state Kamppi and Töölön the Gulf of maakäyttösopimus, in which the whole of this area of building agreed to share a certain ratio. Because the city was zoned a lot of the retail sector in Kamppi Center (otherwise the city gave the building, then a private developer as compensation for the underground bus station in the contract), respectively, in Töölönlahti had to invest in government quota calculated Music and at the same time along the track line of the State contemplated for processing commercial buildings.
Pro Magazines Business yes tried to raise the track-side districts of problems for discussion, but a little too escalated confrontation in the Music Centre and in the magazine from dominating the entire processing of the town plan. Only commercial buildings graduation has revealed that many of the formula was such parts
In this economic equation, the real estate had no place in the Music Centre and the transfer of the track-side warehouses for saving. In such solutions, the city would have had to somehow make up for the state is building froi that the warehouses of savings, it would be in lost revenues.
The town plan presentation progresses, the council was divided in a while. The Greens and the Left defended the strongest magazines. The National Coalition Party and the Social Democrats for the most part defended the old project even if the election before froi the election machines, multi-elected that they also piireistään was enthusiastic to defend the magazines.
National Coalition Party and the Social Democrats council groups the rebels tyynnytelläkseen City Planning Department came up with the idea of a new magazine Park. It will be formed of the Music Centre and the Sanoma House in between, and the idea was to get another magazine can be kept small part of and adjacent to build unloaded magazines receivables tiileistä the other two buildings.
The presentation of this magazine is the formula of the park was marked up protection mark. This was a strange precedent, because froi at least I have not heard that the city would never be protected in advance for yet unbuilt froi buildings.
In February 2002, the City Council froi finally approved the formula by 49-36. One of the most influential kokoomuspolitiikko said the result of the vote was confirmed to me privately that if the formula would only then gone to the preparation, the end result would have been the second, froi but in this case it was not possible to give the green matter so much political profit that the formula should be given the crash. I have said this a bit nyreästi that is not political authority would be important to make the best of the city.
Formula, of course, appealed to the administrative court, but the appeals were unsuccessful. National Board of Antiquities suddenly gave up the appeals process for its part, even though the area had previously been given by the formula when he said will appeal if the magazines, in an attempt to dismantle it.
