To address this challenge the City of Tampere commissioned John Thompson & Partners (JTP) to TULLI is Tampere’s former customs quarter, now in develop a new urban design strategy and vision for the urgent need of regeneration as it finds itself largely cut TULLI neighbourhood, taking into account the large off from the city centre by Tampere railway station and number of plans and projects already under way in the the broad swathe of tracks that constitute a barrier area. between the city’s western and eastern sides.

Accelerate Communication The basic idea behind a charrette is to get the various stakeholders together in a forum that encourages them to exchange standpoints and ideas whilst jointly developing solutions. It creates a momentum to which all stakeholders are invited to contribute, whether from the public or private sector, local, regional or maybe even national authorities. Making this happen is not always easy but, because a Charrette creates not only a forum to be seen and heard but also an opportunity to exchange ideas and generate new ones, even major players tend to participate, giving rise to break- throughs in project communication that are unlikely to arise through traditional design processes.

  • Tampere University Speech by President Mari Walls at the Opening of the Academic Year on 10 September 2019
    1 Tampere University Speech by President Mari Walls at the opening of the academic year on 10 September 2019 Honoured guests, dear colleagues, alumni and friends of Tampere University. It is my great pleasure to welcome you all to celebrate the opening of our University’s first academic year! The idea to establish a unique new higher education community in Tampere can be traced back to more than five years ago when it was first formulated during discussions involving Kai Öistämö, Tero Ojanperä and Matti Höyssä, who presided over the Boards of the three Tampere- based higher education institutions, and then-Presidents of the institutions Kaija Holli, Markku Kivikoski and Markku Lahtinen. In spring 2014, the three institutions commissioned Stig Gustavson to identify areas where they could establish a leading international reputation and determine the necessary steps to achieve this vision. The 21 founding members signed the Charter of Tampere University Foundation on 20 April 2017. As set out in the Charter, the old, distinguished University of Tampere and Tampere University of Technology were to be merged to create a new university with the legal status of a foundation. The new university was also to become the majority shareholder of Tampere University of Applied Sciences. The agreement whereby the City of Tampere assigned its ownership of Tampere University of Applied Sciences Ltd to Tampere University Foundation was signed on 15 February 2018. Our new Tampere University started its operations at the beginning of this year. Today marks the 253rd day since the launch of the youngest university in Finland and in Europe.

  • Robust Methods and Conditional Expectations for Vehicular Traffic Count Analysis Jorma Kilpi1* , Ilkka Norros2, Pirkko Kuusela1, Fanny Malin1 and Tomi Räty1
    Kilpi et al. European Transport Research Review (2020) 12:10 European Transport https://doi.org/10.1186/s12544-020-0399-8 Research Review ORIGINAL PAPER Open Access Robust methods and conditional expectations for vehicular traffic count analysis Jorma Kilpi1* , Ilkka Norros2, Pirkko Kuusela1, Fanny Malin1 and Tomi Räty1 Abstract We study the problem of making algorithmic statistical inferences about the dynamics of city traffic. Our data is based on loop detector counts of observed vehicles in various roads in the city of Tampere, Finland. We show that meaningful correlations can be found between traffic asymmetries at different measurement locations. The traffic asymmetry is the difference of the traffic counts of the opposite directions of a road. The correlations can be further quantified by estimating how much they effect on the average values of the traffic asymmetries at the neighbouring locations. Conditional expectations, both sample and binormal model-based versions are useful tools for quantifying this effect. The uncertainty bounds of conditional expectations of the binormal model distribution are extremely useful for outlier detection. Furthermore, conditional expectations of the multinormal distribution model can be used to recover missing data with bounds to uncertainty. Keywords: Loop detector, Traffic count data, Robust statistics, Truncated distribution, Multinormal distribution 1 Introduction The motivation of this work is to provide a statistically People’s travel behavior is initiated by the need to travel robust algorithmic framework for automated analysis of and then choosing the mode, route and time for trips. loop detector data.

  • Leading a Fundamentally Detuned Choir: University of Tampere, Finland – a Civic University?
    [Draft chapter – will be published in Goddard, J., Hazelkorn, E., Kempton, L. & Vallance, P. The Civic University: the Policy and Leadership Challenges. Edwar Elgar.] Markku Sotarauta Leading a Fundamentally Detuned Choir: University of Tampere, Finland – A Civic University? 1 Introduction A university is an academic ensemble of scholars who are specialised and deeply dedicated to a particular branch of study. Often scholars are passionate about what they do, and are willing to listen only to those people they respect, that is their colleagues and peers, but not necessarily heads of their departments, faculties or research centres. Despite many efforts, university leaders more often than not find it difficult to make academic ensembles sing the same song. If a group of singers perform together, it is indeed a choir. A community of scholars is not necessarily so. Singers agree on what to sing and how, they know their sheets, and a choir leader conducts them. A community of scholars, however, is engaged in a continuous search for knowledge through the process of thesis and antithesis, debates, as well as conflicts and fierce rivalry – without an overarching conductor. Universities indeed are different sorts of ensembles, as scholars may not agree about what is and is not important for a university as a whole. By definition a university is not a well-tuned chorus but a proudly and fundamentally detuned one. Leadership in, and of, this kind of organic entity is a challenge in itself, not to mention navigating the whole spectrum of existing and potential stakeholders. Cohen and March (1974) see universities as ‘organized anarchies’, as the faculty members’ personal ambitions and goals as well as fluid participation in decision- making suggest that universities are managed in decidedly non-hierarchical terms, but still within the structure of a formally organised hierarchy.
