Laagna, Residential subdistrict in Lasnamäe, Estonia
Laagna is a residential subdistrict on the eastern side of Tallinn built on a limestone plateau. The area contains apartment buildings mixed with shops, services, and green spaces that connect the blocks together.
This area was developed starting in the 1970s during the Soviet period as a housing expansion project for Tallinn. The rapid construction aimed to accommodate the city's growing population at that time.
The district represents the demographic composition of eastern Tallinn, with a substantial Russian-speaking population residing in multi-story apartment complexes.
The main road through the area offers regular bus and tram services connecting to other parts of Tallinn. Walking between the blocks is easy and takes little time to reach shops and services.
The district incorporates a network of limestone structures and urban planning elements that reflect both Soviet architectural principles and modern Estonian developments.
