Tallinn
درباره این ویدیو
Tallinn is a global model for smart cities in Europe and beyond. Today, 85% of Estonia’s population is connected to broadband, 100% of medical prescriptions are provided online, and 30% of citizens vote electronically. 98% of citizens have a digital identity card which comes with a PIN code and is key to many transactions from bank to retail and transport.
The three keys to creating a smart urban Estonia are accessibility, interoperability, and user-friendliness, meaning that the user is always at the heart of efforts.
For Tallinn, being smart means providing good digital services through effective IT solutions.
E-governance and citizen participation
To include citizens in the decision-making and urban planning process, the city of Tallinn is using surveys and polls in a first step.
The digital participation tool AvaLinn is another example of how Tallinn is improving its e-governance.
Other important e-services in Tallinn include the mobile and web applications of public transport, the app for traffic cameras that provides information about traffic jams, and the official web map of Tallinn that shows information about developments in the city space.
Smart Urban Estonia: Green and full of opportunities
In 2023, the Estonian capital celebrated its EU Green Capital year, focusing on biodiversity, sustainable governance, and climate and green innovation.
The ambitious development strategy “Tallinn 2035” covers challenges such as carbon neutrality, climate change adaptation, innovation, health, mobility, biodiversity, circular economy, sustainable energy, and food production. To increase biodiversity in the city, Tallinn has created GoGreenRoutes as places where citizens can work together on nature-based solutions and urban gardening.
