Tallinn residents prioritize greenery and connectivity in urban planning

Surveys conducted by the Tallinn City Planning Department and the Tallinn Strategy Centre reveal that 90% of adult residents find their local public spaces pleasant. Residents expressed a strong appreciation for greenery, proximity to the sea, and high-quality connectivity.

These findings are being used to inform Tallinn’s new general plan, which will establish the principles for the city's spatial development over the next 15 to 20 years. The new plan aims to improve the connection of transport routes, preserve green spaces, and enhance the living environment while addressing the specific needs of different districts.

Tallinn Mayor Peeter Raudsepp emphasized that planning decisions made today will influence the city's development for decades. Future studies will focus more closely on family needs, mobility, and the development of the green network. Public discussions are being held across all districts to present results and collect further suggestions.
