The port of Tallinn intends to lease the land. We strongly recommend that the ‘owner’ of plots and ‘streets’ or public space is different.
Need hierarchy of public spaces and finer hierarchy of streets.
Has to connect with the existing urban fabric and movement network. A fine-grain plot structure needs to be suggested – in some key areas plots can be joined together.
Connect with existing city fabric and street network
High street competition – phase 1 and phase 2.What happens on Ahtri?
Promenade is important but probably not the major direction of movement.
Attractors – active street fronts and popup activities
Ground floor should encourage active use – retail-entertainment-local/services
Mix of use need stop support the use of the area around the clock – 24h-
Ground floor should be on the ground level!
Public transport – cannot make it car-centric (Tallinn road network cannot take more cars) but also not ignore these.
Streets need to define the possible bus routes.
At early stages the Ground floor can be partly car parking, but it should be high enough
New car-sharing
Policy - Professional rental market should be encouraged
