Commission after competition The City of Lahti intends to commission the winner(s) at the level of detailed planning and / or landscape and construction design for the prompt measures related to major events in the coming years, such as the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2029. The commission will include further development of the winning proposal’s ideas and collaboration with the city and local stakeholders to improve the character and potential of the area.

Inhabited milieu's challenges City of Lahti is looking for an overall plan for its internationally renowned Sports Centre, a premier venue for winter sports and the most visited place for everyday recreation and exercise. The vision should boldly integrate diverse functional goals while respecting the unique landscape of the site and the adjacent UNESCO Geopark, as well as the area’s rich cultural heritage. The plans should create a more inviting and inclusive environment for everyday recreation and a world-class image for a venue that will be showcased on global television during major sporting events.
