'The contrast with the UK's major towns and cities - where rough
sleepers curled up in sleeping bags, blankets or tents are a common
sight - is striking.

"In my childhood I remember there were hundreds, or even thousands of
people sleeping in the parks and forests," says Helsinki's deputy mayor
Sanna Vesikansa.

"It was visible, but we don't have it any more. Street homelessness
doesn't exist in Helsinki."'
