  • East Helsinki (Finnish: Itä-Helsinki, Swedish: Östra Helsingfors) is an area in Helsinki, Finland, usually thought to comprise the city's eastern and south-eastern major districts (Finnish: suurpiiri, Swedish: stordistrikt), including the districts of Vartiokylä, Myllypuro, Mellunkylä, Vuosaari, Herttoniemi, Laajasalo and Kulosaari. With the exception of Kulosaari, the buildings in the area are relatively new – most have been built in the 1960s or later – and constitute relatively densely inhabited suburbs, except for the southern part of Laajasalo and most of Kulosaari. On the other side of the bridge to the west of Kulosaari is Helsinki Downtown (Finnish: Helsingin kantakaupunki, Swedish: Helsingfors innerstad), the so-called "South Helsinki". The most important road connection to the city central from East Helsinki with car or bus runs along Itäväylä. East Helsinki has had problems with unemployment and poverty, and immigrants and refugees are somewhat concentrated in the area's subsidised housing and city-owned apartments. Drug dealing is relatively common in East Helsinki. This has led to a popular conception of East Helsinki as a problem-ridden area. Kontula, quarter of the Mellunkylä district, has generally been considered one of the most notorious ghettos in particular. Public transport in East Helsinki is organised mainly through the Helsinki Metro, most of whose stops are located in the area, and feeder bus lines. One of Finland's largest shopping centres, Itis, is located near Itäkeskus, the geographical centre of East Helsinki, and many public and commercial services for the area are concentrated there. A major change took place in the area's infrastructure upon the completion of the Port of Vuosaari. Most of the existing port facilities in Helsinki were moved to the new seaport, which created increased economic activity in East Helsinki as well as released new areas for development in other parts of the city. As a logistics area, the Port of Vuosaari employs about 2,000 people, and through it, for example, bananas coming to Finland (about 5,000 containers a year), pass through the port to the main warehouses of the grocery stores.

  • Helsinki Est è un'area di Helsinki, la capitale della Finlandia, a cui ci si riferisce per comprendere i principali quartieri orientali e sud-orientali della città (suurpiiri in finlandese, stordistrikt in svedese), e che comprende i quartieri , , , , , Laajasalo e . Ad eccezione di quest'ultimo, gli edifici della zona sono relativamente recenti (la gran parte risale agli anni sessanta) e la densità di popolazione è relativamente alta (eccetto la parte sud di Laajasalo e quasi tutto Kulosaari). Helsinki Est ha avuto problemi di disoccupazione e povertà, anche perché gli immigrati e i rifugiati si concentrano nell'area, ricca di abitazioni concesse dallo stato. Tutto ciò ha portato alla concezione popolare di Helsinki Est come luogo problematico, il che non è necessariamente vero. Il trasporto pubblico a Helsinki Est è organizzato principalmente tramite la Metropolitana di Helsinki, gran parte delle cui fermate si trovano nella zona. Il maggiore centro commerciale dei paesi nordici, Itäkeskus ("centro est"), è situato presso il centro geografico di Helsinki Est, e qui vi sono concentrati anche molti servizi pubblici e commerciali per l'area. In questa zona avverrà un grande cambiamento nelle infrastrutture, con il completamento del , in progetto per il 2008. La maggior parte delle infrastrutture portuali di Helsinki verrà spostata al nuovo porto marittimo, che contribuirà a creare nuove attività economiche e a lasciare libere nuove aree per lo sviluppo in altre parti della città.
