Expecting the same \”Bilbao effect\” this time in Helsinki, voices are heard that the Guggenheim Foundation, Guggenheim look more benefit from the landmark Helsinki, that Helsinki Guggenheim mark; since the city has its own light and does not need foreign trademarks to shine on the international stage.

The development plan creates an imaginary input for the \”pearl of the Baltic\”. The master plan is divided into three phases, each phase has an area of development, the first phase focuses on the cultural and artistic, the second phase in the commercial and recreational, and the third phase in the technological, natural and research development.
