Landscape Architects on Bikes at TAB

What defines an accessible space, and for whom? On this bike tour led by landscape architects, we explore accessibility, user-centered design, and the qualities that shape meaningful urban environments.

Start and finish: Linnahall
Route: Harbour – Kalamaja –  Krulli – City Centre – Old Town – end point Logi sauna

*The tour will be guided in English, our Estonian tour is held before, at 11:30 from the same location.

An accessible city space is one where everyone can move, play, and feel safe – regardless of age, ability, or background. At some point in life, anyone may face challenges in mobility or spatial use, and a supportive environment becomes the key to quality of life.

A safe cycling network and access to urban gardening and shared activities close to home open up city space and services to everyone – including those with limited opportunities. These topics are often treated separately, as if they were only the needs of narrow interest groups, but viewed through the lens of social cohesion, a much broader picture emerges.

During the bike tour, we will experience and discuss all of this together.

Come with your own bike – you can also join with a scooter, unicycle, or electric wheelchair.

The tour is curated by landscape architects Aljona Galazan and Maali Roomet-Allese. Aljona promotes human-friendly urban space and cycling as an everyday mode of transport, while Maali translates complex spatial issues into practical community activities.
