Focusing on issues concerning Tallinn and its region: Tallinn Hospital, the Tallinn City Government program, treatment of local patients, and urban planning (e.g., regulation of cycle paths). There is also an attempt to draw attention to the resilience and regional development of rural areas (rural area taxes, accessibility of services). However, discussions with a regional scope are clearly mentioned regarding Harjumaa, Lääne- and Hiiumaa, Saaremaa, and Ida- and Lääne-Viru regions (for example, the hospital network, regional healthcare capabilities).

References focus on regions: Ida-Virumaa, rural living, small towns; regional policy and the economic morale of local governments; regional infrastructure (roads, schools, tourism). Opinions focus on the questions of funding for the regional economy, the school and healthcare sectors, and increasing the revenue base of local governments.
