Helsinki Walk: Munkkiniemi, April 2023, Finland [4K]

Munkkiniemi (Swedish: Munksnäs, Helsinki slang: Munkka) is a neighbourhood in Helsinki. The land in Munkkiniemi was from the 17th century a part of Munksnäs manor. In the 1910s grandiose plans were made to expand all of western Helsinki with tens of thousands of new inhabitants, the so-called Munkkiniemi–Haaga Plan by Eliel Saarinen. The construction of the new areas started slowly and it wasn't until the 1930s that a more extensive construction phase began in Munkkiniemi.
