Tahkokan­gas

Cir­cu­lar econ­o­my made of stone

The area around Tahkokan­gas ser­vice cen­tre is cur­rent­ly being devel­oped through a zon­ing change into a res­i­den­tial area. In 2018, the area was a pilot site for a Aggre­gates Main­te­nance Devel­op­ment Project that was devel­oped in co-oper­a­tion with the Min­istry of the Envi­ron­ment. The area served as a test­ing ground for cir­cu­lar econ­o­my in the plan­ning phase and a place where ideas could be refined.  Oulu will con­tin­ue its Tahkokan­gas case study by imple­ment­ing cir­cu­lar econ­o­my goals in plan­ning and design, build­ing and main­te­nance. The cor­ner­stone of the devel­op­ment of the area is local mass bal­ance.

The pos­i­tive expe­ri­ence and new prac­tice gained from Tahkokan­gas will be repli­cat­ed to oth­er design projects in the future.
