Sebastian Knoll, being an engineering ecologist, supports the ULG in Munich regarding the re- and upcycling of excavated soil and secondary raw materials as rooting layers.

  • Ars Pori Megastore: from 0 visitors to 15.000

    The focus for Pori in iPlace is the rejuventation of our City Center. We have the usual story: the building of a new shopping mall, Puuvilla in 2016, located to the north of the older part of the City Center, has moved many shops away to a new location. Some shopping centers on the south side are struggling to keep up with the competition, since Pori does not have enough population to support two commercial centers with the same profile.
