Five tips for green balconies
In this article you can find all the links to the results of the barometer conducted in autumn 2019.
In the Sustainable Urban Environments barometer city dwellers (from Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Tampere, Turku, Oulu, Jyväskylä and Kuopio) express their views on themes such as home, urban environment, transport and retail.
The survey was conducted for the second time in 2019. The data was collected by an online panel administered by CINT Ab during September 16–27, 2019. The number of respondents was 1,022. The sample is representative of the 18–75-year-old population of the participating cities in terms of respondents’ age, gender and the size of each city.
We have published the results of the barometer in several releases. You can find the links to the releases below. You can also find the key figures of the barometer also from our website.
