Tapulikaupunki.
Tapulikaupunki is built on the land that belonged to an agricultural research station from 1925 to 1960. When operations ceased began planning what to do with the muddy fields. In the 1970s, a high-rise district with square concrete houses was scheduled high and tight. The designated car parking separated from the houses was a new innovation that enabled the creation of pedestrian areas.
The area was first called the high-rise area of Puistola station, but residents quickly began calling area Tapulikaupunki after a road named Tapulikaupungintie that passed through the district. In the 1970s, the name Tapulikaupunki became official.
Most of the buildings are from the 1970s and early 1980s. In the 1990s, a new townhouse and apartment block area were built. In the 2000s, modern high-rises along the railway were built.
