Kaukajärvi-Annala district vision

The City of Tampere is implementing a district programme for Kaukajärvi and Annala between 2023 and 2025. Its core aim is to promote the attractiveness and wellbeing of the area in a rapidly developing city. MDI, FCG and Nordic Works carried out a visioning project to serve the district programme which involved a co-creation process together with residents, actors and the city’s administrative units. The goal was to identify and clarify the area’s strengths, unique characteristics, challenges and the most appropriate directions for future development.

The project was divided into three main phases. The first phase utilised various sources to compile a situational picture of the direction Kaukajärvi and Annala are currently heading. In the second phase, workshops were held with the local community to identify the key elements of the vision. Finally, the district vision elements were assembled into an illustrative package followed by the drafting of a supporting action plan. The finalised district vision and action plan will serve as a tool and guide for different city agencies enabling them to advance their work within the Kaukajärvi and Annala district programme.
