Kouvola is part of the international network of Alvar Aalto cities, established in 2017. The activities of the network are coordinated by the Alvar Aalto Foundation.
Alvar Aalto cities form an equal network of actors, regardless of the size of the locality or the number of Aalto sites it contains. The informal network is further expanded by inviting cities and municipalities that have significant Alvar Aalto architecture.
We have compiled a comprehensive information package on the Alvar Aalto sites located in Kouvola on the city’s website.
