I no longer live in Helsinki, but I am curious how quick the local homeless and the Balkan Roma migrants have been to settle into Oodi as a free, warm place to hang out at during the day. Starting from around 2010 there started to be examples of “defensive architecture” in the Helsinki city center to discourage those two demographics from hanging around, e.g. removing the once ample seating at the entrance to the Kirjasto 10 library that Oodi supersedes. Such architectural changes had a small but nevertheless rather unsavory impact on the center.
