Vantaa’s new Mayor Ritva Viljanen moved to Vantaa 36 years ago and lives now in Rajakylä. She enjoys the many faces of Vantaa, its interesting culture and nature, which is always close by.

Walking around, she is drawn by buildings and their architecture and sees interesting stories around her.

Viljanen describes Vantaa as ’an old soul.’
