We will be discussing these questions in Demolition Seminar, 9 October 2025.

The third day of International PhD school, organized by TURNS, Tampere University.

How would you introduce Tampere to new people? We trusted in the charm of Pispala, Kaleva and Hiedanranta. The tram took us through Tampere and large topical development projects in the grey summer day.

Tampereen kaupunki - City of Tampere @tampere.fi · Jun 6
