The port of the Estonian capital is one of the fastest growing in Europe; it serves both cruise ships and ferries and cargo ships. However, today its zone cuts off the city center from the sea, and passengers arriving there, in order to get to Tallinn proper, have to make their way, in fact, through the industrial zone.
Master Plan 2030 aims to solve these problems. According to the authors of the project, the renovated harbor will connect and expand its port functions, while at the same time a multifunctional development will be created there, including cultural and entertainment institutions, shops and hotels. But, most importantly, the port will have public spaces and a network of pedestrian paths connected with the existing city streets and public transport stops. Part of the pedestrian zones will be raised above the ground, and special attention will be paid to areas near the water, where areas for cafes and restaurants are also reserved.
At the same time, the scale of the adjacent development has been preserved, including the Old Town and the Rotermann Quarter, and key perspective views are highlighted. Customers - the management of the Tallinn port - especially noted the landscaping scheme and the area near the Admiralty Basin, which were proposed by the architects.
