The following report is by Smart Cities World:
Tallinn’s 2025 budget emphasizes the principles of the approach and an analysis of the spatial distribution of services. The City reports it will enable more efficient planning for new kindergartens, schools, and services for seniors, improving accessibility and aligning with community needs.
The proposed budget allocates €6.1m to urban planning operations for the coming year. Key priorities include shaping Tallinn’s spatial identity through comprehensive plans, directing the development of urban and mobility centres, and enhancing street spaces into high-quality public environments.
Deputy mayor for urban planning Madle Lippus said that while many daily services in Tallinn are already within a 15-minute walking distance, there is still room for improvement in planning these routes. “In addition to better understanding service planning, our goal is to create equal opportunities for all space users.
“This often involves connecting developments with public transport accessibility or designing urban spaces that encourage walking. That’s why we will continue implementing the principles of the 15-minute city in 2025.
“Several streets will be redesigned with a more human-centered approach, and we will advance significant infrastructure projects like the Liivalaia tram extension to Kristiine keskus or the Kristiine multimodal transport hub.”
Major initiatives planned for next year include the public display and refinement of the Põhja-Tallinn Comprehensive Plan after its adoption, ongoing development of the Kesklinn Comprehensive Plan, and the conceptualisation of a city-wide plan – Tallinn’s Spatial Vision.
Competitions for landscape architecture and building design will be held for Rävala puiestee, the Tallinn Open Repository, the Varraku swimming pool, Kalamaja Primary School’s expansion, and Martsa Primary School.
Additionally, the spatial vision for the Kristiine multimodal hub will be completed. Detailed plans for the Pikaliiva, Veerenni, and Lepiku kindergartens, as well as the Pae Street sports hall, are also on the agenda.
The goal of the urban planning sector is to enhance Tallinn’s spatial environment, improving the city’s quality of life and competitiveness. This work is guided by the Tallinn 2035 development strategy and the European New Bauhaus principles for spatial quality. Key tasks include creating a unified strategy for the city’s development, planning, and infrastructure, drafting necessary plans, and monitoring their implementation.
Tallinn’s 2025 city budget must be approved by the city council. The proposed budget totals €1.29bn, an increase of €69.9m or 5.7 per cent compared to the revised 2024 budget. Operating costs are set at €1.03bn, with €250m allocated for investment activities. Total revenue is projected at €1.1bn.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
We covered these plans to implement the 15-minute cities worldwide earlier this month, titled, “‘Money Faileth:’ A Repeat Of Biblical History Forecasting The Collapse Of World Economies Forcing Societies Into Deeper Enslavement”
Genesis 47:20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh’s. [21] And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
As discussed in that message, on the back of collapsing currencies and food insecurity, (along with pestilence and wars), and a global population collapse, many people will be driven into these smart cities with limited autonomy. This will not happen overnight but will steadily increase as the current world order breaks down by design.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Zephaniah 3:8 ¶ Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
Revelation 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
The words of God are being fulfilled without these people understanding what they’re doing. They are blinded by the god of this world who is being controlled by the TRUE GOD. The Lord Jesus Christ.
It must be costly to rebuild everything for this around the world. Money wont be an issue i guess.
Rome wasent build in a day…
