Vienna in Figures 2017 Renate Brauner Executive City Councillor of Finance, 8 chapters Economic and International Affairs 24 pages 2017 Dear readers, © Ingo Pertramer With 24 pages and 8 chapters, Vienna in Figures provides a For over 25 years, the City of Vienna has compiled the present overview of concise overview of various aspects of life in our city, inviting key data on Vienna for readers in Austria and abroad. Comparing the 1991 readers to find out more about Vienna. issue with this year’s issue, you will see that a rather plain design has made way for a more colourful and open layout. At the same time, the comparison clearly shows the profound changes Vienna has undergone since then. Vienna is growing. From 1,564,051 inhabitants in 1991, the population has increased to 1,867,582 by 2017. The birth deficit has turned into a surplus of births over deaths. What used to be a shrinking city on the outskirts of Western Europe has become the sixth largest EU city (having surpassed Bucharest in 2016). These changes present major challenges for the Viennese and their city government, given that the global financial and economic crisis of the past decade has left them with reduced financial leeway.

For the eighth consecutive year, Vienna ranks as the world’s most liveable city in the 2017 Mercer Quality of Living Index of global cities. The city’s recent first place in the Roland Berger Smart City Index proves the effectiveness of our programmes to make Vienna fit for the future. Vienna’s success story is based on the daily commitment of the local population. The Viennese are known for combining hard work, resource- fulness, prudence and mutual cooperation in a way that may well be unique in the world. The present publication is an attempt to illustrate the “Viennese way” We Vienna in statistical terms while taking account of our city’s great diversity and maybe even making you smile here or there. I hope you will find that “Vienna in Figures 2017” makes very pleasant and interesting reading.
