Lasnamäe - Tallinn's most elaborate residential area!

Listening to the stereotypical stories about Lasnamäe, you might get the impression that in one apartment there's a brothel, another one's home to drug addicts, and in another people are even being killed - how can anyone manage to live there?! The reality is something else entirely, and we're going to find out the truth about all this. During the Soviet era, 63% of Lasnamäe's planned volume was completed. We'll give an overview of Soviet city planning principles and talk about what was completed and what was left undone. But of course, we'll also take a peek into earlier times - we'll find the former buildings of Katleri manor and the Lasnamäe airfield. We'll talk about the Estonian Air Force, commercial flights, and aeronautics in Lasnamäe! But that's not all - did you know that there's a meteorite crater in Lasnamäe? Why were there no residents in the Tondiraba subdistrict in 2017, or where Rahu tee, also known as Lasnamäe's second canal, was planned?
