Merihaka is known for its concrete element buildings and multi-level traffic system, where pedestrians and vehicular traffic are separated on different levels.
The area’s urban planning principles were based on optimized space usage and high population density from the 1960s and 1970s. Merihaka divides opinions due to its massive and heavy appearance, evoking both criticism and admiration.
In the evening, Merihaka looks spectacular.
