Residents in both cities expressed concerns over antisocial behavior and the risk of crime in isolated green areas, as well as the loss of 'wild' nature to infill building. Preferred new green elements include trees, green walls, and meadows. Regarding urban planning, approximately 50% of respondents felt their cities did not actively promote participation opportunities, showing a preference for 3D/VR tools and direct engagement like walks with planners over social interaction with other residents. Area-specific analysis highlights the use of Kalasatama and the Pollinator Highway primarily for exercise, daily errands, and commuting, with walking and cycling as the dominant modes of transport.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"sei-001301#summary","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},"key_insights":[{"text":"Residents in both Helsinki and Tallinn highly value urban nature for its ability to decrease air and water pollution, provide habitats for animals and insects, and offer a place for relaxation and stress reduction.
