6th Section of Space: Veskimetsa (Mill Forest)
A space with high development potential between the Tallinn Zoo and an industrial area.
Existing Situation
+/- a development area
+ an existing mixed-use light traffic road
+ border with Tallinn Zoo
- monotonous space
- lack of identity
Natural Environment
+ a large semi-natural grassland
+ Tallinn Zoo
+ Veskimetsa forest is a valuable habitat
+/- as the habitat of pollinators of average value at the moment
Spatial Planning and Interventions
-
"opening" of the zoo - creating a visual connection and /or the possibility of passing through (improving pedestrian connectivity with the Rocca al Mare area
-
adding places for rest and leisurely activities
-
potential location for an allotment garden
-
a need to separate movement paths of different speed and nature
