Päijät-Hämeen liitto

What Päijät-Hämeen liitto does

Päijät-Hämeen liitto (the Regional Council of Päijät-Häme) is a statutory Finnish regional council (maakunnan liitto) operating under public law, headquartered in Lahti, Finland. It serves the 10 member municipalities of the Päijät-Häme region (Asikkala, Hartola, Heinola, Hollola, Iitti, Kärkölä, Lahti, Orimattila, Padasjoki, and Sysmä) plus the regional welfare area (Päijät-Hämeen hyvinvointialue). Its core functions include regional land use and spatial planning (Maakuntakaava 2060), regional strategy development (Maakuntastrategia 2050+), transport system planning, EU project coordination, funding advisory services, regional statistics, and cross-sectoral development programs covering physical activity (Liikkuva Päijät-Häme 2030), culture (Kulttuurin suunta 2030), green transition, and civic education (Vaikuttajakoulu).

The organization operates approximately 30 staff across leadership, administration, regional planning, regional development, advocacy, municipal cooperation, and project management functions, plus specialist roles in environment, transport, population/housing, business networks, GIS/mapping, and EU project coordination. Its technology footprint is built around standard digital tools: an ArcGIS Experience platform for the Maakuntakaava 2060, the Aarrekartta cultural treasure map platform, social media presence across LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram/YouTube/X, and a WordPress-based corporate website (paijat-hame.fi). It actively coordinates 13 EU/Interreg Europe projects including ACTIVE ID, CEI BOOST, Change(K)now!, ClimateGO, DeCo, LOTTI, PROSPERO, STEP UP, and TANIA (nanoremediation), with academic partners including the University of Helsinki, LUT University, Lahti University of Applied Sciences, and Haaga-Helia.

The business model is non-commercial: the council is funded through mandatory municipal contributions from its 10 member municipalities, national government allocations (e.g., Ministry of Education and Culture for cultural network development 2023-2025), and EU/Interreg project grants. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Decision-making occurs through formal governance bodies including the Maakuntavaltuusto (regional council), Maakuntahallitus (regional board), and Yhteistyöryhmä (cooperation group). As a public law entity, there is no equity ownership, no parent company, and no subsidiaries; the organization operates under the supervision of Finnish national authorities and serves as the sole statutory regional planning authority for Päijät-Häme.
