This paper analyzes the diversity of urban housing concepts in Finland. Our research questions are: 1) what kind of urban housing concepts exist in Finland in 2017, 2) what megatrends do the current concepts answer to, and 3) how has the variation of housing concepts changed within the last ten years?
