Year after year, this has been proven in international rankings regarding quality of life. WITH A RANGE of targeted measures (various economy and technology funding programmes, education initiatives, acceleration of permit procedures, settlement support for foreign businesses and much more), Vienna is intentionally and con- tinuously strengthening its attractiveness as a business location for domestic and international companies. Since entering the EU in 2004 as one of the 10 new mem- ber states, our geographic location in the heart of the “new” Europe has been an additional advantage. Vienna’s new position as the largest city in a region of four countries, four cultures and approximately six million inhabitants within a 100 kilometre radius is unique worldwide. Therefore, the political forces of the whole region have united under the name “Vienna Region” or “Centrope”, a term HowÊ toÊ buildÊ aÊ city?Ê HowÊ toÊ buildÊ aÊ placeÊ whereÊ privateÊ needsÊ andÊ professionalÊ requirementsÊ meet,Ê andÊ whereÊ successÊ inÊ coined by the European Union, to jointly create the best economic and infrastructural premises. businessÊandÊresponsibilityÊforÊourÊsocietyÊinterlink?ÊAÊplaceÊforÊ21st-centuryÊlifestylesÊthatÊisÊnotÊonlyÊgreyÊbutÊalsoÊgreen?ÊTheÊ answerÊcanÊbeÊfoundÊinÊaspernÊViennaÕsÊUrbanÊLakeside.

At the very beginning of this period, we did not exactly have it easy. When just before Christmas in 2002 I took over responsibility for the administration and future development of our city, Bratislava was a quarter of a billion in debt, which was due to be settled in the sum- mer of 2003, but with only one quarter of this amount available to cover it. In such an atmosphere it was not exactly the best of times to think about development constructions.

Over the centuries the castle has been expanded and been given various new purposes. Emperor Friedrich III. had the castle fundamentally rebuilt, largely giving it its current appearance. Emperor Maximilian I was born and baptized in the castle in Wiener Neustadt and spent his youth here. From here the Holy Roman Empire was expanded. The empire grew so large that “the sun never set“.

Due to this as well, Bratislava has nearly the same historical foundation as several other major cities of Europe. Today, it is a CITY OF BRATISLAVA : INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS : INTERNATIONAL CITY OF BRATISLAVA member of a mature family of 27 metropolises of the new, expanded Europe and, jointly with its neig- hbours, contributes to creating a metropolitan Euroregion which has all the prerequisites to become one of the most dynamic areas of European cooperation and development within the next 15 to 20 years.
