editorial In the editorial, Jukka Mäkelä takes a stand on issues of current interest in the City of Espoo. Jukka Mäkelä is the Mayor of Espoo. We can make it together Espoo residents have taken care of each other in many ways, being adaptive, flexible and compliant with instructions. Together, we have ensured that we can cope in these exceptional circumstances. Now we have to look to the future. Cities will play a major role in providing welfare society services, in investing in growth and in generating a new ascent after the coronavirus crisis. Cities need cooperation, predictability and support from the central government in order to weather this crisis. The funding base of the public sector has deteriorated to an unprecedented extent due to the coronavirus crisis. Accordingly, we are launching a programme titled Taloudellisesti kestävä Espoo [Economically sustainable Espoo]. Now is not the time to add to the duties and obligations of local government. The coronavirus crisis is having an impact particularly on cities like Espoo that finance their services with tax revenue. This must be taken into account in the support measures of the central government. Large cities also have the potential to launch revitalising projects with significant employment impacts. Infrastructure investments, for instance, promote employment, growth, competitiveness and carbon neutrality all at once. We need partnership and close cooperation now like never before. We can make it together.
