Where is the centre of Helsinki anyway? Hesingin Sanomat does a quick study to find out. Speaking for myself before I lived here it was under the Stokmann clock. But if I had to choose a single place to stand now the decision would be harder, you would probably see me walking round in circles looking confused, getting a new idea and then stopping midstride to scratch my chin for a bit while I thought some more, before again taking a new direction. The centre of a city is probably an environment with a rough outline, the precise centre as the article suggests probably shifts with the seasons and with that persons current state of mind. Note you could add this urban strategy to any other city I have lived in too.
