Tampere–Pori Railway
The Tampere–Pori railway is a railway running between the cities of Tampere and Pori in Finland. The line carries passenger traffic from Tampere to Pori via five railway stations and continues as a freight line to the Port of Pori. Tampere–Pori railway was opened in 1895 and the line follows the river Kokemäenjoki.

The railway north of Tampere was initially planned to run from the western side of lake Näsijärvi through the northern parts of Satakunta, from where a branch line would be built via Kankaanpää to Pori. However, in its 1877 session, the Diet of Finland decided to align the Tampere-Haapamäki line to the east of the Näsijärvi, and the first plan for the Pori line fell through. Since then, the project was received the strong backing of the timber processing industry, which wanted a rail link to the port of Reposaari. In the 1880s, th ...

Urban Areas In Finland
An urban area in Finland is defined as a cluster of dwellings with at least 200 inhabitants. The Finnish term for this is a ''taajama'' ( sv, tätort). Because of the strict definition of a ''taajama'', these areas exist both inside and outside of city and municipal borders. The largest ''taajama'' in Finland is the Helsinki urban area with over 1.3 million inhabitants in 2019. It extends across Helsinki as well as ten other municipalities in the Greater Helsinki area. The second largest is the Tampere urban area with about 342,000 inhabitants in 2019, and the third largest is the Turku urban area with about 278,000 inhabitants in 2019. The presence of ''taajama'' areas is used to regulate traffic, with a default of speed limit inside a ''taajama'' and outside. Each major road leading in or out of a ''taajama'' is marked with a road sign.
