Vähenda

Vähenda is a small residential area located in Estonia, specifically in the city of Haapsalu, which is situated on the Väinameri Sea coast. The name "Vähenda" is believed to refer to the area's unique geography, with the word "vähend" meaning "to narrow" or "to reduce" in Estonian. This likely refers to the way the surrounding landscape appears to narrow or bottleneck at the location.

Geographically, Vähenda is situated near the shores of the Väinameri Sea, to the north of Haapsalu's city center. The area appears to be composed mostly of residential housing and associated infrastructure, such as roads and utilities.

Estonia officially recognized "neighbourhoods" or "residential areas" including Vähenda by municipal development plans and urban planning initiatives endorsed by the government. The establishment of residential areas such as Vähenda reflects the nationwide scope of urban renewal projects sponsored by both government and private resources within Estonia.

Very little else is noted or little more is known about Vähenda.
