Construction

Vigorous construction activities continue in different parts of Vuores. Construction work is started on plots of blocks of flats, terraced houses and detached houses at regular intervals. Out of all the city districts in Tampere, it has been in Vuores where the largest number of dwellings have been completed in recent years. Vuores had about 7,000 residents at the beginning of 2022.

Almost all the plots in the residential areas of Mäyränmäki, the centre of Vuores, Virolainen, Koukkuranta and Rimmi are already constructed. Isokuusi is partly under construction. The planning of Västinginmäki is ongoing.

The partial master plan for Vuores has been drawn up in cooperation with Tampere and Lempäälä. In the recent years, construction has been mainly ongoing only on the side of Tampere. The residential area of Annisto is now under construction in Lempäälä.
