In addition to committing to the goals, taking biodiversity into account in urban planning requires clear instructions, up-to-date data sets and well-functioning practices. The city follows the sustainable environmental planning model, which aims to prevent and mitigate the adverse effects of construction on nature. In the planning and maintenance of green areas, emphasis is placed on preserving soil and vegetation, increasing biodiversity, and the accessibility of local nature and its effects on the well-being of all residents. By managing stormwater with nature-based solutions, we not only increase greenery and adapt to the increasing rainfall caused by climate change, but also improve biodiversity and the attractiveness of the city. The Tampere Urban Space Guidelines bring together the guidelines for the planning of public spaces, the knowledge of which is important for both the city's units and external designers.
