GOAL OF THE COMPETITION
The City of Rakvere wishes to find a spatial planning idea for Linnametsa housing area planned in the master plan of Rakvere. We expect it to be an innovative, close to nature, energy and resource efficient housing area. The environment of the housing area needs to be of high quality.
LOCATION
The competition area is located in the southern part of Rakvere and is a part of the so-called town forest. Mostly it is a mixed forest. To the east of the area lies Soolikaoja recreational corridor, for which a spatial plan was drafted in 2005. It is allowed that the design proposals suggest changing the existing spatial plan within the competition area.
