Vuores is an area on the border of Tampere and Lempäälä , where the municipalities are building a common district. Each municipality is building in its own area, but a partial master plan has been drawn up in co-operation. Construction on the Tampere side began in 2010. The area is diverse in terms of terrain and nature, and there are numerous lakes.

The district has been designed on the basis of eco-efficiency in cooperation with the City of Tampere’s ECO2 program. For example, the draft town plan for Koukkuranta has been assessed with a special eco-efficiency tool developed by VTT. Tampere participates in the further development of the tool. There are ongoing development projects in the mountain to promote households ’access to renewable energy, such as wind and solar power. There is a waste pipe collection system in the mountain. 

Transportation 

Mountain transport planning is based on efficient public transport . It is handled by buses, although the planning also provided for the implementation of the tramway . According to the regional master plan for the Tampere tramway, the tramway could be implemented in Vuores in the 2030s. A comprehensive light transport network will also be built on the mountain . The Särkijärvi bridge connecting Vuores to the Tampere city center was opened to traffic at the beginning of July 2011.

Art 

Vuores has implemented the Vuores art program Reflections of Nature , commissioned by the City of Tampere’s Vuores project. The art program includes more than 50 works from all over the Mountain.
