The fan shape, which Aalto had already applied to the Sunila housing area and used in an experimental town-planning proposal in the United States in 1941, came out strongly. The causeway and the railway approach the central square from the mainland in the northwest and the direction of the traffic is continued in a fan-shaped park. There are roads on both sides of the park, which join together at the point where the town hall is located, as they rise upwards towards the church road which runs northeast. The fan-shaped central square is thus not an open square, but a clearing in the park lined with vertical pine trunks.
