Contrary to big European cities, inhabitants in Tallinn are mostly active in neighbourhoods that are going through gentrification (Kalamaja, Pelgulinn, Uus Maailm, Kadriorg) or in residential suburbs (Nõmme, Pirita, Kakumäe). While protecting the values of living environment the associations have become more and more competent in issues of urban planning and urban governance. Despite that there is little will to cooperate with neighbourhood associations from the city government’s side. Neighbourhood associations do not have a legitimate role in urban development of Tallinn. In October 2013 new local government councils will be elected in Estonia. As an input for local elections the neighbourhood associations will put together a platform of local living and suggestions for improving the cooperation with the city government.
