We have mentioned vertical connections / bridges / layers before. The current site is mainly offices which makes the area quiet and undesirable at night for residents and visitors so while we insert new functions, do we envision also multiple 'streets' in different floors? For example the street of residentials to be in the fifth floor or similar.

1. According to the masterplan, new diverse functions will be inserted within Tulli, making it a link between Tammela, University premises, Tampere Talo and the neglected site behind the train tracks.
2. The pedestrian connections that are provided by the new construction among the train tracks, the Tulli area will be highly accessible.
3.  Åkerlundinkatu is reaching to the beginning of the ramps that are connecting the other side of the tracks, which makes the street desirable and active.

Tulli, on the other hand, suffers from another
problem: monofunctionality. The buildings consist mostly of offices, which leads to a onesided experience of the area. With its industrial
past, the cityscape has a very diverse and intimate scale, which has a great potential to become a distinct urban neighbourhood in
Tampere. By reprogramming, and by injecting diverse functions, Tulli has the potential to
become an integrated part of the centre and function as a link between the university, Tampere Hall and the rest of the city centre.

Densification and building upwards continues in central areas:
- Vertical division of functions. Services -> workplaces -> housing.
- Two level city: from public street level to private upper floors.
- Hybrids emerging along the most important axis to accommodate different user groups.
- Building up to release a few open public squares / parks on street level.

# data[].attributes.body
Incorporating  decentralization to this scenario:
- Functions and people are concentrated on multiple centers connected by the railway.
- Need for efficient new constructions and adaptive re-use in Tulli -> densification process happens without skyscrapers.
- Heavy use of hybrids and mixed-use buildings.
- Dense city structure advocates the use of rooftop gardening and vertical greenery.

The future high rises built on railways doesn't form attractive city environment

Buildings are tall because of the difficult and costly building environment

"My feelings start where the truth ends."

Tulli area has been taken over by extremists ideologues from the university.

In their zealous gated out community separated from the rest of society they envision a future with no states, borders or separations between individuals.

A totalitarian collectivist regime holds an iron grip over their divisive black & white world view.

High tech, low life.

The corporate elite have dominated the development board and have envisioned a fully autonomous 24/7 massive shopping center in the scope of the whole Tulli area to cater for all the possibilities of human needs where only the imagination is the limit.

All other functions have been leveled to make way for the purest form of free market with no shackles to hold it back.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Set in 2100. The dwindling resources of the globe have been extinguished past a breaking point.

Global pandemics and conflicts have devastated the country and forced people to live in massive megastructures which Tulli area is supporting with it's multiple vertical farming towers reaching for the skies.

Threats
-- Monotonic residential buildings. Activities and diversity suffer
-- Strict orientation on dense building and highrise development might neglect the human-scale experience

# data[].attributes.body
Opportunities
-- Opportunities to grow to be an integral link between the city center and the rest of Tampere
-- Tampere railway station is a connection point to multiple directions

# data[].attributes.body
Weaknesses
-- Current usage percentage over time will put pressure on passive usage (housing / daytime commercial)
-- Current structure is limiting in the sense of area openness and parks & greenery

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths
-- Factories (past identity, can be used in vision 1 as a revival of experienced spaces or new production buildings)
-- Strong connection hub location
-- Trainline access / transport identity (past, present, future, very strong point for linking access to offices, education and business in vision 2)
-- Education (emerged later and still existent, continues expanding and can be relocated partially near attila where there was an educational unit once, maybe vision 3)

Short term:

Global pandemics affect the need of spaces (ie. the requirement of offices) - offices are no longer designed in new structures but replaced with housing or other functions REFINE IDEA! /COLLAB/COMMUNITIES

Majority of the buildings are either repurposed as hybrid usage or demolished after coming to the end of their life-cycle and re-envisioned as such or assigned as parks and open leisure areas

Long term:

Vertical farming and vertical greenery is introduced to the Tulli area in large areas

Densification together with residential and commercial pressure on the Tulli area cause a polarized situation where blocks are built full

Climate changes will bring immigrants to Tampere in large numbers

AI and robots will continue to develop and replace a third of current workplaces in Finland

# data[].attributes.body
Short term:

Global pandemics affect the need of spaces (ie. the requirement of offices) - office spaces are assigned as hybrid / multipurpose instead

Additional floors are built on top of existing buildings

Tulli will become an investment and an attraction hub because if it's central location

Parking is replaced with self-driving cars into automated parking lots.

Long term:

Tampere region will have 40 000 new habitants by 2040

Buildings at the end of their life cycle are demolished and replaced with similar scale urban structure as envisioned in surrounding areas (higher & denser)

Industry returns to central areas thanks to small scale production solutions like 3D printing.

Circular economy where materials of products are reused efficiently pushes also industry closer to the source of materials
