The popu­la­tion of Oulu is pre­dic­ted to grow by 20 per cent in the fol­lowing few deca­des. At the same time, con­sump­tion will inc­rea­se but ever more sus­tai­nably: Oulu invests hea­vi­ly in circu­lar eco­no­my, and the city plans to be car­bon neut­ral by the year 2035. As a furt­her example, 35 per cent of all the wind power pro­jects in Fin­land are tar­ge­ted to Nort­hern Ostro­both­nia.
