News and articles on Sustainable cities and communities

One of the University of Vaasa’s longest-term sustainable development projects concerns the creation of sustainable communities and cities in collaboration with various players. The university will continue to work closely with the City of Vaasa, various regional NGOs, and other stakeholders. Urban and regional development challenges are specifically addressed in research and education in regional studies and other administrative sciences, as well as industrial management and marketing studies, both of which have a long history of green development projects in the Vaasa region.
