	The master plan is organic in shape, with soft, flowing lines. Instead of adopting a rigid grid, the scheme introduces a system of dunes spreading across the entire site. It is rational because both orientation and massing will respond to the seasonal trajectory of the sun and prevailing wind direction. Planners have combined the function of the city like business and housing districts with natural relief and other local characteristic features.

	The green agenda of Ecobay project supplements and supports the town plan’s traditional guidelines with a number of new "green" ideas. One of them would be expansion of public transport with electric-powered busses and trams or light railways. Planners had negotiated about it with the city authorities in Tallinn.

			The Ecobay project is only in first stage. It has won the competition and it is approved by local city government as a future development strategy for new district. For implementation in the future main factors has to be taken into account:

			1) Political - local government has to take into account the new approach which is defined in the project. Development strategy of the city has to be orientated to nature friendly development and "green thinking".

			2) Social - needs and interests of local society will be one of the main factors.

			3) Ecological - in the new district there will be energy saving constructions and systems, alternative energy use by waste and wind, many green areas. The main idea of whole project is sustaainable development and minimal harm to nature.
