	Helsinki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Helsinki is also known for being unique in the way that for a city its size there is no part of the town that could be deemed as "slum", or explicitly inhabited by the poor.
		Helsinki is, however, perhaps even more famous for its numerous Art Nouveau (Jugend in Finnish) buildings, designed in the early 1900s and strongly influenced by the Kalevala, which is a very popular theme in the national romantic art of that era.
		Many of Helsinki's main attractions are also related to the sea, the Suomenlinna sea-fortress built in the 18th century to defend the city and the Seurasaari Island with its parks and open-air museum, the former being a UNESCO World Heritage site.

		Helsinki forms a conurbation with three other cities, Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen, which are together called the capital area (see Helsinki Metropolitan Area, where some 975,000 people live).
		At that time, however, Helsinki was little more than a place for the King and his retinue to stay while they were away from the capital Turku on hunting trips.

	Helsinki Area Transportation System Status Audit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		However, it seems to us that the consequences of the shift from a rail-based public transport approach to a more road-oriented investment policy are maybe more evidently and clearly demonstrated in the Helsinki Area than in any other European area of similar size, which usually has larger historical city structure and more shortness of land.
		It is therefore necessary that the system effects have to be taken in full consideration in the evaluation of transport investment and operation consequences, both to urban structure and life, and to human behaviour and reaction of all transport users.
		The payment for using cars in urban areas does not correspond to the marginal costs, which means that a car driver can enter to the traffic system to a very low cost in relation to the effects of congestion and environment effects for the whole system.
