Future Home Institute (University of Art and Design Helsinki) is collecting, analyzing and comparing data about areal projects in different states of execution from all over the world.

Objective of the Area Balanced Scorecard project is to understand what the elements of the balanced mixed areal structure are and how the various functions such as work, live, recreation and services can be successfully integrated.

Currently we are collecting information from the twelve areas mentioned below.

One aim of the ABS project is to create a multidisciplinary university and research group network and to improve the international cooperation on the urban design field.

Welcome to the ArealWIKI and thank you for helping us to understand how to create better living environments!
