To address gap, study examines Finnish municipalities constructing an empirically grounded typology current strategies. Drawing on extensive data 30 most populated municipalities, we identify five strategy types: banking based active policy, growth-oriented regional vitality driven housing policy-oriented private focused policy. types are characterized differences along six dimensions, namely objectives, public acquisition, public-private cooperation, allocations, economic incentives, information steering facilitation. contributes deeper understanding variation commonality local government authorities.
