Launching future-oriented work in Tuusula

We can influence the future through our actions and choices. What kind of Tuusula are we, as elected officials, creating with our decisions? Are we able to assess the impact of our decisions on the future? How well do we recognise the everyday and ethical values that guide our decision-making?

On behalf of Tuusula, the council group proposes that a discussion on the future of the municipality be initiated in Tuusula during this council term, with the guidance of experts. It is important that we, as elected representatives, are able to assess the impact of our decisions and consider possible alternatives more broadly and also from a future perspective.

Municipalities are responsible for finding sustainable solutions for the future of their communities, including population change, economic sustainability, climate and carbon neutrality targets, land use, zoning, housing, the mental and physical health of residents, construction guidance, energy efficiency, waste management, transport systems and public transport.

We propose that at the beginning of the next council term, in 2025, a future committee be established in Tuusula, whose task will be to consult extensively with experts and other stakeholders from different sectors of society and to utilise the information obtained about the future in municipal decision-making.
Future thinking is a source of appeal and retention for the municipality and also an example to other municipalities of how to bring the future more firmly into decision-making.
