It turns out that the “improved renderings” that were supposed to convince everyone that the right thing to do is to agree with the planners (on this blog earlier with links) actually strengthened the opposition.

Interesingly, the associations mentioned are from everywhere around the city: Katajanokkaseura, Kruununhaka-seura, Kruununhaan Asukasyhdistys, Töölö-Seura, Kumpula-seura, Siltasaariseura, Kulosaarelaiset – Brändöborna, Metropoliseura ja Pro Eira.
