Public private partnership in developing a new urban quarter
Tamminen, Pertti
Vuores is a new urban quarter, which will be developed on the border of Tampere City and Lemppäll municipality. The goal is to build a structurally and functionally harmonious urban district on the territory of these two municipalities. Tampere and its surroundings is the second largest urban region and growth area in Finland. The total population of the area is 300 000 inhabitants. The total population of Vuores will be about 13 400, 10 200 in Tampere and 3200 in Lemppäll. The amount of jobs is 3000-5000. The planning and building of Vuores are still under way. The planning stage should last until 2012. The goal is to develop new public/private partnership (PPP) models to be used in the implementation of the Vuores project. First among these are the operations concepts developed in preparing the MMyrrnmmki residential area and the Vuores centre. Expected benefits of the PPP models in developing the new city quarter include: the city being able to choose the best implementers for each site, with co-operation from the early stages of the planning process ensuring that the plan is not too binding but leaves room for additional planning and creation of innovations; the planning process receiving ample resources, with the developerss planners participating in the planning alongside city planners; the time needed for the projects being shorter, with the project planning of the implementers starting alongside the drawing up of the plan.
