Key fields
Increasing the share of active types of movements improves people’s health. Implementing the principles of good connection options and universal design allows everyone to access any destination. A fast and comfortable public transport system frees city residents from the obligation of owning a car and helps them avoid traffic jams. Interconnected mobility services allow everyone to find an optimal path for them when travelling in the city.
Implementing the planning principles of a compact and human-sized space helps to reduce long unnecessary commutes and fosters active types of movement and the use of public transport. The design of the urban space creates an environment that is accessible to everyone. Our plans include attractive spots where everyone can spend time in the fresh air.
Fostering healthy lifestyles and ensuring the accessibility of health care prolongs the time during which people live healthily, contributes to the intertwined society, independent coping and a strong sense of security as well as increases employment.
Developing sports infrastructure and services and raising awareness about the benefits of an active lifestyle will help Tallinn to become a city with active ways of getting around and Tallinn residents will be healthy and live a long life.

A well-maintained natural environment improves people’s well-being and impacts both their mental and physical health positively. Cleaner air and less noise promotes spending time in the fresh air as well as a healthier and stress-free way of movement.
The diverse landscape and playgrounds make the urban space attractive, thus they will foster spending time and walking around in the fresh air. Tallinn’s blue and green network establishes places where city residents can spend their time and move around healthily. 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 will make the street space more pleasant.
Universal design principles will be implemented to shape the real estate environment and improve the accessibility of the urban space. Owning the necessary land or rights for development in the urban space enables us to develop mobility services at a new level.
By supporting independent coping and offering social welfare aids, it is ensured that people are both mentally and physically healthy and live longer. The urban space will have to be accessible also to those who need aids to move around.
A compact utility network will help with shaping landscaping and other aboveground infrastructure and developing an attractive urban space. Moreover, well-thought out street lighting will help to guarantee everyone’s safety.
