This book tells the success story of Finnish wood construction and throws new light on the direction of housing construction in Finland today, where more than a decade of development and construction of modern wooden towns and compact, low-rise housing has created a wealth of knowledge and a diverse variety of pioneering and resident-oriented wooden residential milieux.

Modern wooden town construction is investigated from three key perspectives: past and present studies, experiences and newly completed building projects. The books expert commentary and presentations of completed wooden housing areas showcase the best of Finnish expertise in wood construction and highlight the myriad possibilities of building in wood.
