buildings have been constructed to<br />
complement residential areas with older<br />
traditional-style wooden houses. A completely<br />
new wooden-built residential suburb, which<br />
is set to become the largest in Scandinavia,<br />
is currently under construction in <strong>Lahti</strong>. With<br />
its lake and forest setting and its low rise<br />
and compact building style, the new Karisto<br />
residential area has been developed with<br />
community spirit in mind.<br />
