A strong urban planning vision will create a pleasant urban space that takes into consideration the interests of all parties and makes people’s lives easier. A high-quality public space and architecture, various architectural forms and spectacular greenery make Tallinn a desirable place to visit and live in. During the planning process, directions will be given to all parties shaping our urban space on how to create a friendly and homey urban space.

The increased share of sustainable mobility and safe traffic, decreased traffic management and implementing road surfaces made from various materials will make the urban space become human-scale. Sustainability is essential for use of urban space — the current car parks and intersections will be turned into pleasant public spaces. The balance of various mobility options enables the space to become more interesting and safe.

Tallinn’s green network keeps Tallinn’s urban nature diverse and creates spots where people can practice healthy habits and move around. The cohesion of the green spaces will allow people to travel almost from one end of the city to the other by bike or on foot so that their contact with car traffic will be minimal. A well-maintained and diverse landscape means green spaces are more accessible and attractive to people – the urban space will become a more pleasant place.

Owning the rights or land needed for the development of the urban space, the smart planning of the city’s real estate environment as well as cooperation help to shape diverse and attractive hubs. This way, the urban property will be maintained and developed responsibly and thought out strategically so that the creation of a friendly urban space would not get stuck due to absence of real estate.

This urban environment fosters the emergence of unique commerce and service companies, as well as cultural events and entertainment options that both city residents and visitors can participate in. Tourists are invaluable clients for companies operating in the service and culture fields and our goal is to attract them to visit all the districts, not only the Tallinn Old Town, in the name of sustainability. All this enriches and livens the urban space.

Cultural establishments and events will make the urban space more interesting. They will encourage people to spend more time in the city and, thus, there will be more people in the urban space which will make the city more attractive.

By supporting independent coping and offering social welfare aids, we help to ensure that people are both mentally and physically healthy and live longer. An accessibility policy ensures that the urban space will also be accessible to those who need assistance aids to move around.

A compact utility network will help with shaping landscaping and other aboveground infrastructure and developing an attractive urban space. Well-thought out street lighting helps to create a safe and pleasant urban space.
