Hiedanranta Innovation Bay

The team of architects from companies Schauman & Nordgren Architects and Mandaworks announced winners in Tampere Hiedanranta international open architecture competition with the masterplan ‘Hiedanranta Innovation Bay’. Today in this area on the shores of lake Nasijarvi there are old buildings and abandoned industrial buildings. The participants of the competition were tasked to develop the functional content of the district and also to offer an original visual solution for it.

The city district is situated on the north-west of the city of Tampere. Over the next 20 years the Innovation Bay will house over 25,000 new residents and 10,000 new jobs, as well as the transformation of the former industrial district into an innovation hub for the development of a circular economy and a sustainable future. 

Tampere’s Central Region is growing rapidly. Currently home to 370,000 residents the population is expected to reach 480,000 by 2040. In anticipation of the growth, the City of Tampere acquired approximately 250 hectares of land 4.5 km north west of Tampere’s centre – Hiedanranta Bay.
