Hundipea, Subdistrict in Karjamaa, Tallinn, Estonia
Hundipea is a subdistrict on Tallinn's northern coastline where residential areas meet converted industrial spaces. The neighborhood has a varied character with older buildings alongside newer residential developments and public spaces.
The area was shaped by industrial activity for decades, particularly through Paljassaare harbor which became a major port after the Second World War. In recent years, it has gradually transformed from a purely industrial zone into a mixed residential and commercial neighborhood.
The transformation from an industrial port to a residential zone reflects Estonia's shift toward creating communities that value environmental responsibility and social connection.
The neighborhood is well served by public transit and sits only a short distance from the city center. Walking paths and cycling routes connect different parts of the area and make getting around straightforward.
The district implements a 15-minute city design, where residents can access essential services, workplaces, schools, and recreational facilities within walking distance.
