Ranta-Tampella is a new residential neighborhood located north of Tampere center on the shore side of Lake Näsijärvi. Through the area runs a water canal that connects Lake Näsijärvi to the historically significant Tammerkoski channel and rapids. The banks of the Tammerkoski channel are one of the oldest industrial areas in Finland. Ranta-Tampella’s planning for residential and public uses was abled as the former highway was replaced with a tunnel. Ranta-Tampella connects the urban areas of the city with the lake and nature.
The comprehensive project started as a competiton win in year 2014. Since then Maanlumo has designed the general plan and the landscape architectural vision for the whole area. After that work has continued by construction planning in several parallel projects.
