    Mayor of Turku Minna Arve and Deputy Mayors Piia Elo, Mirka Muukkonen and Elina Rantanen organise Mayors’ visits to explore different areas of Turku, their communities, and their development goals.

    Mayors’ visits 2025

    The aim of the visit is to promote an open discussion among the mayors, those attending the event, and other city representatives. 

    Each visit features a unique programme and content, designed in cooperation with local actors and resident groups.

    Mayors need to understand the residents of their city, which is why we will come and visit you. The dialogue with residents requires new approaches to ensure that Turku remains a good place for everyone to live, both now and in the future.
