Getting to know Lasnamäe

The workshop started with several introductory lectures and walking tours in order to get famillar with Tallinn and in particular with the large housing district of Lasnamäe which with more than 110,000 inhabitants seems to be a city itself. Thanks to Ann Kristiin Entsone learned about the strategies of the municipality and about the activities of the NGO „LasnaIdee“. Polina Ljaševa and Anton Kuunal,discussed the challenges with us and guided us through a neighborhood tourImmediately students started to work in teams, focusing on different topics, such as first-floor usages, possible infills, bio- and social diversity, and others.
