Jätkäsaari, also known as Busholmen in Swedish, is a peninsula and a quarter in Helsinki, Finland. It is part of the Kampinmalmi district and the Länsisatama neighbourhood. Historically, it was the main container port in Helsinki until 2008, when the port operations moved to Vuosaari.

Today, Jätkäsaari is undergoing significant development to transform into a vibrant residential and commercial area. The plan includes housing for around 17,000 residents and 6,000 jobs. The area is designed to be urban and densely built, with a mix of residential buildings, schools, kindergartens, sports facilities, and public services. Public transport is well-integrated, primarily served by the Helsinki tram network.

Ruoholahti, also known as Gräsviken in Swedish, is a district in Helsinki, Finland. It is part of the Länsisatama neighbourhood and the Kampinmalmi district. Located in the southwestern part of central Helsinki, Ruoholahti serves as a key connection between the city center and Espoo.

Historically, Ruoholahti was developed in the 1910s by connecting several small islands with earth fill to accommodate port operations. Over the years, it has transformed into a vibrant area with a mix of residential, commercial, and cultural spaces. Notable landmarks include the Kaapelitehdas (Cable Factory), which is now a cultural center, and the Ruoholahti Canal.

The district is well-known for its modern residential buildings, parks, and proximity to the sea, making it a popular place to live. It also hosts various tech companies and offers excellent public transport connections, including a metro station.
