Master planning

In Kuopio, master planning is the responsibility of the strategic land use unit, which operates under the supervision of the City Council. The master plans are approved by the City Council. 

The City of Kuopio prepares a zoning review once a year, which includes an overview of current and soon-to-be-launched master plans. Read more about participating in land use planning.

View valid master plans in the Kuopio Map Service.
