Summary/Abstract: By looking at Mustamäe, Tallinn’s first modernist residential district, this article will address how, in a new and, in many ways still experimental housing development, people’s everyday space was placed in the service of political and social goals. It will also explore how a new type of strategic space was created through the effect of modernist ideology, which was interwoven into these new types of apartments, existent living norms and a subsequently more mobile lifestyle.
