Further information about Smart City Wien: https://smartcity.wien.gv.at/site/ https://www.wien.gv.at/stadtentwicklung/studien/pdf/b008551.pdf The Smart City Wien Framework Strategy 2019–2050 was adopted by Vienna City Council on 26 June 2019. The present document includes some minor adjustments which do not change the meaning of the original text. © December 2019, Vienna Municipal Administration ISBN 978-3-903003-53-8 The Smart City Wien Framework Strategy is based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out in the UN 2030 Agenda. The future starts now! The year 2050 can only mean one thing, and that is the future. Yet even though another three decades lie ahead between now and then, the coming years are of decisive importance. The consequences of the climate crisis are already becoming evident today, with torrential rainfall, droughts and heatwaves. This crisis is one of the major challenges of the 21st century, and one that will have a far-reaching impact on all our lives – in our cities as well as in the countryside. All the more important, then, that we as a city take our future into our own hands rather than letting events take their course. With the Smart City Wien Framework Strategy, Vienna is doing precisely that. Vienna City Council approved the original policy document back in 2014, and this revised and updated version reaffirms our commitment to combating the consequences of the global climate crisis. At the same time it demonstrates our own capacity for action, as the federal capital and as the city with the highest quality of life in the world. With these revised and updated Smart City objectives for 2050, the City of Vienna has not only kept the focus firmly on people and their needs, but elaborated a sustainability strategy for the coming decades that will serve as a future blueprint for other cities too. The numerous targeted measures to cut greenhouse gas emissions, such as reducing the volume of motorised private transport, are an opportunity waiting to be seized. The overarching goal of the Smart City Wien Frame- work Strategy is to combine maximum conservation of resources with social and technical innovation to safeguard our city’s outstanding quality of life. Attaining this goal calls for one thing above all others: the engagement of everyone involved. Close cooperation between representatives of the municipal administration and its associated enterprises and organisations, plus involvement of external stakeholders, was of decisive importance in the revision and update process, and this ongoing partnership will likewise play an essential role in bringing the strategy to life.

Against the backdrop of global challenges, foremost among them being the global climate crisis, and in view of the new opportunities that go hand in hand with the advancing digital revolution, the Framework Strategy brought all of the City of Vienna’s policy-making teams, specialist departments and enterprises together behind a shared vision for the first time: Vienna as a city that is constantly able to reinvent itself and develop innovative solu- tions to enable sustainable future development; and at the same time a city that remains true to its basic values, attaching the same importance to social inclusion and quality of life for everyone who lives here as it does to the climate and environment objectives. Vienna’s definition of smart means amalgamating innovations and new technological and digital capabilities, climate action and resource conservation, high social standards and op- portunities for participation into an overall vision that inspires people and prompts desire for change. Quality of Life Resources Innovation 7 Why a revised and updated version? The Smart City Wien Framework Strategy is a long-term vision for the future, outlining perspectives up to the year 2050. So why produce a revised and updated version just five years after the initial one was adopted? • The global climate crisis calls for ambitious responses. Global warming continues unabated, and the consequences of the global climate crisis are becoming ever more apparent. At the same time, the latest calcula- tions show that the measures agreed so far are nowhere near sufficient even to curb global warming, let alone limiting it to 1.5°C. There is there- fore a need for more far-reaching goals. The Paris Agreement on Climate Action of 2015 and the EU climate and energy targets based upon it were important milestones to this end. These targets now require all members of the international community to come up with significantly more ambi- tious strategies to implement them, and the Smart City Wien Framework Strategy also takes due account of this.

Data: Central Institute for Meteorology below and red bars temperatures above the long-term average for the years 1970 –2000. and Geodynamics (ZAMG) 8 • Vienna wants to continue setting new standards. With its adoption of the Smart City Wien Framework Strategy in 2014, Vienna became an international pioneer. In the meantime, many other cities have likewise developed new strategies or tightened up their climate and energy targets. Vienna wishes to retain its position of frontrunner within the network of responsible cities and to continue shaping the global debate as a member of international initiatives such as the Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy, the UN Agenda for Sustainable Development and the European Climate Alliance. To this end, appropriate adjustments to the objectives of the Smart City Wien Framework Strategy and a strong commitment to local implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are imperative. • Vienna has used the first monitoring of the Framework Strategy as a learning process. The first in-depth monitoring of the Smart City Wien Framework Strategy was carried out in 2017. Here too, Vienna set new international standards. The monitoring process showed that in many areas Vienna is well on track for attainment of its self-defined objectives. However, it also

    1 Die Stiegen von Mariahilf www.walkinginside.at Der APA Wien –Meldung vom 30. August 2004 konnte man Folgendes entnehmen: „ Im olympischen Sinne "nur Blech", ansonst aber den hervorragenden vierten Platz hat eine Wiener Stiege in einer internationalen Untersuchung erreicht. Die italienische Gesellschaft "Marketing e TV" hat die schönsten Stiegen Europas gekürt. In dieser Aufstellung landete die Wiener Fillgraderstiege auf dem hervorragenden vierten Platz, noch vor Prag und Berlin. Sieger wurde die Spanische Treppe in Rom, gefolgt von der Anlage zur Basilika Sacre Coeur in Paris und dem "Tempel der Athena" auf Rhodos.“1 Dass Wien zu den Städten mit den schönsten Stiegen Europas zählt, überrascht. Genau so überrascht, dass die schönste Treppe Wiens nicht die in einem Roman verewigte Strudelhofstiege sein soll, sondern die Fillgraderstiege in Mariahilf. Die vorliegende Hommage an die Stiegenanlagen in Mariahilf, in Form einer Spaziergangsbeschreibung, bringt die Gesamtheit der Stiegenvielfalt des 6. Wiener Gemeindebezirks „buchstäblich" ans Licht. 2 Stiegen-Spaziergang in Mariahilf, 6.

  • Step 2025 Urban Development Plan Vienna
    STEP 2025 URBAN DEVELOPMENT PLAN VIENNA TRUE URBAN SPIRIT FOREWORD STEP 2025 Cities mean change, a constant willingness to face new develop- ments and to be open to innovative solutions. Yet urban planning also means to assume responsibility for coming generations, for the city of the future. At the moment, Vienna is one of the most rapidly growing metropolises in the German-speaking region, and we view this trend as an opportunity. More inhabitants in a city not only entail new challenges, but also greater creativity, more ideas, heightened development potentials. This enhances the importance of Vienna and its region in Central Europe and thus contributes to safeguarding the future of our city. In this context, the new Urban Development Plan STEP 2025 is an instrument that offers timely answers to the questions of our present. The document does not contain concrete indications of what projects will be built, and where, but offers up a vision of a future Vienna. Seen against the background of the city’s commit- ment to participatory urban development and urban planning, STEP 2025 has been formulated in a broad-based and intensive process of dialogue with politicians and administrators, scientists and business circles, citizens and interest groups. The objective is a city where people live because they enjoy it – not because they have to. In the spirit of Smart City Wien, the new Urban Development Plan STEP 2025 suggests foresighted, intelli- gent solutions for the future-oriented further development of our city. Michael Häupl Mayor Maria Vassilakou Deputy Mayor and Executive City Councillor for Urban Planning, Traffic &Transport, Climate Protection, Energy and Public Participation FOREWORD STEP 2025 In order to allow for high-quality urban development and to con- solidate Vienna’s position in the regional and international context, it is essential to formulate clearcut planning goals and to regu- larly evaluate the guidelines and strategies of the city.

  • Reconstructing the Dynamic Danube Riverscape Under Human Influence
    Water Hist (2013) 5:121–143 DOI 10.1007/s12685-013-0076-0 Two steps back, one step forward: reconstructing the dynamic Danube riverscape under human influence in Vienna Severin Hohensinner • Christoph Sonnlechner • Martin Schmid • Verena Winiwarter Received: 12 September 2012 / Accepted: 23 March 2013 Ó The Author(s) 2013. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract As part of an interdisciplinary project on the environmental history of the Viennese Danube, the past river landscape was reconstructed. This article describes the different types of historical sources used for the GIS-based reconstruction, the underlying methodological approach and its limitations regarding reliability and information value. The reconstruction was based on three cornerstones: (1) the available historical sources; (2) knowledge about morphological processes typical for the Austrian Danube prior to regula- tion; and (3) the interpretation of past hydraulic measures with respect to their effectiveness and their impact on the river’s behaviour. We compiled ten historical states of the riverscape step-by-step going backwards in time to the early 16th century. After one historical situation had been completed, we evaluated its relevance for the temporally younger situations and whether corrections would have to be made. Such a regressive-iterative approach allows for permanent critical revision of the reconstructed time segments already processed. The resulting maps of the Danube floodplain from 1529 to 2010 provide a solid basis for inter- preting the environmental conditions for Vienna’s urban development. They also help to localise certain riverine and urban landmarks (such as river arms or bridges) relevant for the history of Vienna.

  • Smart City Wien Framework Strategy Smart City Wien Framework Strategy Our City Has Been Smart for Several Generations
    Smart City Wien Framework Strategy Smart City Wien Framework Strategy Our city has been smart for several generations. Far-sighted, intelligent solutions for its daily life have made Vienna the city with the highest qual­ ity of life worldwide.This is clearly borne out by its drinking water supply or social housing construction activities. However, to maintain this high qual­ ity of life against the background of restricting conditions, it is necessary to strive for constant self-analysis and the development of new and innovative solutions – in brief: to reinvent oneself continuously, especially as climate change and increasingly scarce resources call for novel global approaches. With the Smart City Wien framework strategy,Vienna is charting its course towards becoming a “smart city”.This is a course that differs from the strat­ egies of other cities in one key respect: Vienna will not let anybody down. For Vienna, the integration of the social component into all areas is an essential element of its framework strategy. Climate-related and ecologi­ cal objectives and the improvement of the everyday realities of its citizens are assigned the same importance in Vienna. Cities are smart if all people living in them have access to the same degree of participation. The Smart City Wien framework strategy constitutes a milestone in the future development of the Austrian capital – a strategy designed to ensure that all Viennese will continue living in the world’s most liveable city even in the coming decades.

Opening hours: Saturday and Sundays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Press photos: www.wienmuseum.at/de/presse Otto Wagner's Pavilion at Hietzing station is shining with renewed splendour following extensive restoration works. The Wien Museum venue, a metropolitan rail station designed exclusively to serve the Emperor and his court, was closed in 2011 when the need for repair and restoration works had become apparent. A restoration project was launched in 2012 and carried out by Wehdorn Architekten, the City of Vienna's chosen contractor for the venture, in close cooperation with Austria's Bundesdenkmalamt (federal monuments authority) and Andreas Nierhaus, Wien Museum's curator for architecture. With the recent completion of the restoration works and the re-opening of the Court Pavilion on 21 June, a key work of Viennese modernist architecture will once again be accessible to the public. "Otto Wagner's Court Pavilion counts as one of Vienna's outstanding cultural monuments and is known beyond Austria's borders. Originally completed in 1899, the building was exposed to the elements for more than 110 years, which left its traces especially on the outer building shell, necessitating the restoration of this gem of Viennese architecture.

This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Medieval Vienna was situated at the main arm of the swiftly flowing alpine Danube. From the fourteenth century onwards, the river gradually moved away from the city. This marked the beginning of 500 years of human intervention to prevent further displacement of the river and to preserve the waterway as a vital supply line. Archival research and the GIS-based reconstruction of the past riverscape allow a new view about the co-evolution of the city and the river. Following major channel changes in 1565/1566, repeated attempts to force the main arm into the old river bed were undertaken. By the early seventeenth century, the Viennese had accepted the new situation. Resources were S. Hohensinner (&) Á B. Lager Á G.

Criterion (iv): Three key periods of European cultural and political development - the Middle Ages, the Baroque period, and the Gründerzeit - are exceptionally well illustrated by the urban and architectural heritage of the Historic Centre of Vienna. Criterion (vi): Since the 16th century Vienna has been universally acknowledged to be the musical capital of Europe. While taking note of the efforts already made for the protection of the historic town of Vienna, the Committee recommended that the State Party undertake the necessary measures to review the height and volume of the proposed new development near the Stadtpark, east of the Ringstrasse, so as not to impair the visual integrity of the historic town. Furthermore, the Committee recommended that special attention be given to continuous monitoring and control of any changes to the morphology of the historic building stock. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Vienna developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. It played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century.

  • Vienna's Path to Sustainable Transport, International Journal of Sustainable Transportation, 11:4, 257- 271, DOI: 10.1080/15568318.2016.1251997
    Vienna’s Path to Sustainable Transport by Ralph Buehler, John Pucher, and Alan Altshuler Abstract Vienna, Austria reduced the car share of trips by a third between 1993 and 2014: from 40% to 27%. The key to Vienna’s success has been a coordinated package of mutually reinforcing transport and land-use policies that have made car use slower, less convenient, and more costly, while improving conditions for walking, cycling, and public transport. During 32 in-person interviews in Vienna in May 2015, a wide range of politicians, transport planners, and academics almost unanimously identified the expansion of the U-Bahn (metro) and parking management as the most important policies accounting for the reduction in car mode share since 1993. Implementation of sustainable transport policies in Vienna has been a long-term, multi- staged process requiring compromises, political deals, and coalition-building among political parties and groups of stakeholders. This consensual approach to policy development has been time-consuming. Vienna has not been the first city to introduce any particular policy, but it has masterfully adopted successful policies from other cities. The continuity of Social Democratic governments in Vienna since 1945 has provided a crucial political basis for long-term implementation. The Greens have vigorously pushed for accelerating implementation of sustainable transport policies since becoming part of the ruling coalition government in 2010. The progressive political environment in Vienna has been essential to its increasingly sustainable transport system. Other major cities in Western Europe have also reduced the share of trips by car since 1990. Together with Vienna, they provide useful lessons for other cities throughout the world on how to reduce car dependence.
