Spatial vision of the city of Keila
Keila's spatial vision deals with city-wide important spatial principles, which are the general basis for the preparation of the solutions of the general plan of the city of Keila and further land use and construction conditions. Spatial vision does not pretend to be accurate, the diagrams are presented in a generalized form of solutions. More detailed land use solutions can be viewed from the master plan drawings. Spatial vision is one of the most important parts of the general plan. The vision summarizes the planning solution in a general way and points out the most important urban space planning goals. Spatial vision consists of diagrams with explanations.
- The solutions of the general plan are based on the goal of making the movement of people in this structure clearer and more comfortable. It is also the structural basis for building fronts, densification of buildings, diversification of functions and directing the architectural quality of buildings.
- The urban structure of Keila has a remarkable feature, that the existing green areas are lined up one after the other. The general plan sets the direction of spatial development for the future, according to which it is necessary to ensure the preservation of the belt of green areas and to improve the coherence of green areas.
- The general plan emphasizes the need to maintain and improve the coherence of the street network also over and along the railway and the river, as well as by valuing and connecting smaller roads and paths with the street network throughout the city, so that all journeys are pleasant.

- The master plan protects the historically established and therefore characteristic views of Keila in the future.
- The general plan promotes the development of the street network and public space related to the city of Keila (including the riverside promenade and bridges), the removal of production that disturbs the living environment, and the addition of residents and services on both banks of the river, including the territory of neighboring municipalities.
- Keila is one of the best places to add new residents in Harju County. This means that it makes sense to plan to densify the city with new housing.

- The Road Administration is planning two detours: north and south from Keila. The proposed detours will significantly affect the urban space of Keila, including changes in the space connected to the existing roads.
