Project details

The redevelopment project of the lakefront road of the Estonian town not only aims to improve road conditions and road safety, but has the broader objective of creating a new urban centrality that can favor the rebirth of the city. The redevelopment is inspired by the natural environment of the lakefront, trying to enhance its ecological potential and integrating public activities and new architectural elements in a landscape of great value. In this way, the project aims to create a completely new urban experience for residents and visitors to the city. The project involves the creation of a new network of pedestrian and cycle paths along the lakefront, which will allow residents to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscape in a safe and sustainable way. In addition, there will be public green areas, parks and open spaces, which will encourage socialization and relaxation in the open air.
