Actors and stakeholders
- Paljassare peninsula is situated in the North of the municipality of Tallinn, in Harju county. It is part of the Northern Tallinn district. It is quite an industrial area with Tallinn waste treatment plant (Tallinna Vesi - Water of Tallinn - 70 ha) and Paljassaare Port belonging to Port of Tallinn (Tallinna Sadam) and several transportation companies as well as a railway. Around 50,000 inhabitants are living in the district.
For planning in Estonia, the national government establishes the legal framework with laws and a national spatial plan. Then, counties do the county spatial plan and municipalities the comprehensive plan. Tallinn has a development plan for the period 2014-2020. According to one articles from 2018, Port of Tallinn would be looking to discard its last plots of Paljassaare harbor - most of it already sold over the past 10 years."
- Draw a stakeholder and/or power map: Who is affected highly but with low power? Who has high power but is not affected?

Sacred spaces and heritage
- Which places/elements hold cultural value and to whom?
- You may add a map and some images, please also explain in your caption why these elements are valuable
The cultural heritage of Paljassaare is manly characterized by it´s military use. In the past Paljassaare were divided into two small islands called Karli Islands. With the end of the Great Northern War on Estonian territory, Estonia was incorporated into Rus-sia. In 1727 the Russian leadership decided to strengthen the defences of the port of Tallinn. At this time the first military fortifications were built on Karli island (later Paljas-saare). In 1824 an artillery Tower was built on the smaller Karli island. The Tower became the unofficial name White Tower. Now a day only ruins of the Tower exist since the Russian troops destroyed the Tower during the Crimean War because of the fear that it will fall in the hands of the enemy. Before and during World War I a complex protecting system was built. The large com-plex of fortifications should protect St. Petersburg form attacks by the sea. The system was called Peter the Great´s naval fortress. The construction started on Paljassaare in 1912. The area between the mainland and the islands was filled and the result is the peninsula Paljassaare. The material to fill the area was collected during construction of the Mine Harbour. The construction of the complex protection system was never finished. Today only the ruins of the White Tower, the battery, the embankment of the railway and the Katariina Quay is left from the naval fortress.
