As the first CIVITAS city in Finland, Turku has become an internationally noticed flagship city of sustainable solutions. The aim of Turku is to become carbon neutral by 2029 and Smart Mobility plays an important role in this process. Mobility in 2029 will consist primarily of walking, cycling, electric public transport and sharing of vehicles. Mobility has also become a service.

In Turku, the darkest time of the year will be brightened with the light installations and seasonal light decorations of the Path of Light instalment. Sites such as the crane at the Börs worksite, Kaupungintalon puisto park and Kauppahallin kuja alley will be illuminated in the city centre. Other parks as well as suburbs will also be decorated with Christmas lights. The illuminated sites will attract residents hiding from the dark to the outdoors to admire the lights and colours.
