The head of the City District of Mustamäe, Helle Kalda underlined in her speech how big a step this contest is for Mustamäe: ’Soon to be 55 years of age, Mustamäe has never had a real cultural centre - the present cultural centre Kaja was originally built as a cinema. Now we have finally taken a step further in the direction of building a real cultural centre.’
