Cleared for Launch
Espoo is looking to take creativity into another level
World Design Capital 2012 provides a significant push for all
the partner cities. Jukka Mäkelä, the Mayor of Espoo, is excited
about the possibility to use the special year as a sort of a launch
pad: design is a great platform for community development for
decades into the future, if one is ready to make the commitment.
