The</span><br><span>actual shape of Tallinn region is in flux, opening a new set of</span><br><span>opportunities for creative regional urbanism.</span><br><span></span><br><span>The 9th Urban and Landscape Day will address this highly important nexus</span><br><span>of strategic questions through two lenses. Firstly, physical large-scale</span><br><span>‘landscape icons’ and their role in building regional image and identity</span><br><span>will be explored in a European comparison. Secondly, new process ideas and</span><br><span>technical solutions that facilitate broad participation and actor-based</span><br><span>identity-creation will be tested and ameliorated.</span><br><span></span><br><span>The 9th Urban and Landscape Day will consist of open keynote lectures,</span><br><span>expert panels and discussions. Lectures will be in Rüütelkonna Hall,</span><br><span>Toompea. The event is also coordinated with the opening of City of</span><br><span>Helsinki’s ‘Helsinki Horizon 2030' container, to be formally opened by</span><br><span>Mayor of Helsinki in May 15, 2012 at 2pm and student event at 8pm at</span><br><span>Tallinn Harbour area, Admiraliteedi basin.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>PROGRAMME:</span><br><span></span><br><span>9.30-10.00 coffee and registration</span><br><span>10.00-10.10 welcoming words</span><br><span> prof.
