the installation of underground parking lots the arrangement of greenery and public spaces the guidelines for the modernization of Šeškinė market and the underpass A detailed plan of the territory is currently being prepared the concept of the prepared plan will be presented After the detailed plan decisions have been prepared the publication of the detailed plan decisions will be organized as

Šeškina shopping center block are private property the pedestrian paths crossing the territory the underpass and several plots of land and the buildings on them belong to the Vilnius City Municipality In order to achieve a unified change in the quarter we are following the path of cooperation and coordination of planned actions.  "I believe that the change in the center of Šeškinė can become an example of how we can create new quality spaces in modernist districts while maintaining their uniqueness and identity This center is designed as the heart of the district - it is a shopping center and a public space in one This complex is easily accessible on foot and by public transport due to the poor construction quality of those years and long neglect some of the original structures have collapsed We also need to look at how to humanize the nearby underpass to make it more pleasant safer and more convenient for everyone to cross I invite the residents to actively participate in the presentation and together discuss the vision of changes that is important to everyone" Vilnius city municipality in 2023 initiated discussions with residents regarding the most important changes in the municipally owned plots in the Šeškinė center complex There was a walk with the local community around the territory The result of the discussions is the document "Šeškinė center: vision and action plan" which consists of long-term and short-term goals for managing the territory lighting and underpass repairs were completed One of the 2023 vision conclusions - to strive for the regeneration of the complex which would systematically cover the entire complex of buildings maintain the urban structure and the layout of public spaces The territory under consideration is the commercial heart of the Šeškina complex of the late Soviet period in 1983 authors of the "Šeškinė" shopping center project G and a year later it was recognized as an architectural monument of local significance The large number of public service facilities concentrated in the Šeškinė public center was a response to the needs of the residents of the densely populated Šeškinė district Implemented on both sides of Ukmergės street Distinctive features of the spatial planning of the complex include spaces reminiscent of the streets of the old town a clear network of pedestrian paths leading to the central square and the central accent (swimming pool with a clock tower) Such a plan emphasizes an exclusive focus on pedestrian connections for the large covered supermarket "box" type that flourished at the end Unique means of architectural expression were used: red brick buildings the central pool has been replaced with grass pedestrian promenades are chaotically filled with stalls the gallery on the second floor has been removed the complex has been covered with new buildings The condition of the originally preserved buildings and public spaces is poor The decline of the public shopping center started to be talked about in the public space as early as 2000 the poor standing was shown by the collapsed facade of the shopping center in an emergency condition the architectural integrity and visual cleanliness of the complex have been lost reproduction and distribution are permitted only with the written consent of UAB "Naujosios medijos grupė" The producers behind the show

Vilnius “HBO and Sky found Chernobyl’s Pripyat in the Vilnius residential district of Fabijoniškės while Netflix reimagined Vilnius University Botanical Garden as Tokyo in their Tokyo Trial found a home in Vilnius-located Pushkin Museum We are really pleased that Vilnius city’s diverse nature is capable of providing a backdrop for another hero’s story which will be filmed in the residential district of Šeškinė.” the CEO of Baltic Locations and the supervising location manager for Young Wallander commented on the process behind Šeškinė becoming the selected setting we scouted and debated several Vilnius districts The director decided to go for Šeškinė based on how strong of an impression the surroundings of it made on the screen the scenes of inside Wallander’s flat will be filmed in

parking spaces on Šeškinė St. It is very unfair that only one hour of free parking is allocated to patients in many cases you do not have time to visit doctors in such a short time especially when you go to more than one doctor I would like Lrytas.lt to describe this situation and how the authorities of the city of Vilnius are robbing even the polyclinics doing everything to make things worse for people which means that I am already being charged even though I am disabled with a parking card for a resident of Vilnius and a sign for a disabled person I left the car on the street 600 meters from the entrance to the treatment facility" Discounts do not apply to any group of drivers JUDU.LT mobility expert Donatas Tijūnaitis said that there are currently no plans to extend the free parking time
