Helsinki City Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Helsinki City Centre (Finnish: Helsingin kantakaupunki, Swedish: Helsingfors innerstad) originally referred to the area belonging to the city of Helsinki, Finland before the great annexation on 1 January 1946. After the annexation the names "Helsinki Centre" and "annexed area" were used, forming the area of Greater Helsinki together. The Helsinki Centre referred to the quarters 1 through 27. The city council often referred to the parts as the city centre and the suburbs (Finnish: kantakaupunki - esikaupungit, Swedish: stadskärnan - förstäderna). The area started to be referred to as the central business district in the 1960s.
