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. -
Ruling of Austria's Federal Administrative Court
Ruling of Austria’s Federal Administrative Court (Bundesverwaltungsgericht) on the planned third runway for Vienna International Airport (Schwechat). 2 February 2017 (Original in German) Executive Summary (from Climate Blog of Columbia Law School1) Plans for a third runway at the Vienna-Schwechat airport were first submitted for review by the government of Lower Austria (one of Austria’s 9 regions) in March 2007. (In early February) the Lower Austrian government’s approval of those plans was struck down by Austria’s Federal Administrative Court (Bundesverwaltungsgericht) because authorizing the runway would do more harm to the public interest than good, primarily because it would be contrary to Austria’s national and international obligations to mitigate the causes of climate change. Before arriving at its decision, the court examined expected changes in future air traffic, the emissions impacts of those changes, and the extent to which it would be possible for the airport to control or otherwise limit various sources of emissions. It also considered the economic benefits of the additional runway, the adverse impacts of climate change on Austria, and the state of Austria and Europe’s effort to reduce emissions generally and from air traffic. After reviewing several estimates, the court concluded that a third runway would increase Austria’s annual CO2 emissions by between 1.79 and 2.02% by 2025. This is at odds, the court noted, with Austria’s 2020 transport sector emissions reduction target of 2.25%. The court also observed that short-term gains in the form of commerce or jobs were easily outweighed by the likely economic consequences of a destabilized climate. -

Im Zuge der Erhebungen wurde auch eine Aufnahme der Lebensraum- ausstattung durchgeführt. Die Schlange konnte an 15 Fundorten in drei von insgesamt zehn Gewässersystemen nachgewiesen werden, wobei sich fünf Fundortkomplexe unterscheiden ließen (zugehörige Fließgewässer in Klammern): Wienerwaldsee (Wienfluß); Helenental westlich von Baden (Schwechat); Traismauer - Tribuswinkel (Schwechat); Laxenburg - Achau (Schwechat); Wilfleinsdorf (Leitha). Bei der aktuellen Untersuchung wurden Würfelnattern nur in Gewäs- sersystemen festgestellt, aus denen sie bereits bekannt waren, ließen sich im Vergleich zu älteren Angaben an eini- gen Stellen jedoch nicht mehr nachweisen. -

Die Vogelwelt Der Schwechatauen in Der Stadtgemeinde Traiskirchen (Niederösterreich)
BCBEA 1/1 (Mai 2015) ‐ Sauberer: Vogelwelt Schwechatauen Traiskirchen Die Vogelwelt der Schwechatauen in der Stadtgemeinde Traiskirchen (Niederösterreich) Norbert Sauberer1 1VINCA – Institut für Naturschutzforschung und Ökologie Giessergasse 6/7, A‐1090 Vienna, Austria, e‐mail: [email protected] Sauberer N. 2015. Die Vogelwelt der Schwechatauen in der Stadtgemeinde Traiskirchen (Niederösterreich). Biodiversi‐ tät und Naturschutz in Ostösterreich ‐ BCBEA 1/1: 190–216. Online seit 5 Mai 2015 Abstract Birds of the river valley Schwechat in the municipality Traiskirchen (Lower Austria). The river Schwechat runs 7.2 km through the municipality of Traiskirchen (Lower Austria), south of Vienna. 54.2 ha of the 120 ha sized study area are protected by law. In this nature conservation area the river Schwechat is predominantly unregulated. Ca. 70 ha of the study area is dominated by hardwood alluvial forests, while the rest consists of different habitats (mainly water bod‐ ies, gallery forests, sand and gravel banks, tall forbs vegetation and fallow land). 104 bird species have been found between spring 1993 and January 2015. For 53 species breeding is confirmed, probable or possible. 51 species were only noticed as wintering, migrating or feeding guests. Within the borders of the protected area 101 species and out‐ side 63 species have been detected. Two major guilds of bird species have been found: one is typical for floodplains and the other for structural complex broad‐leaved forests. The diversity and density of bird species using nest‐holes for breeding is high. Seven different woodpecker species were found, at least five of these are definitely or probably breeding. -

Its capital, Vienna, skiing on some of the world’s finest alpine stranded during the postwar years on the slopes. edge of western Europe, is taking its place again as an important international city. 1 Vienna £ Vienna still retains much of the glory and grandeur of the empire’s heady days. Museum treasures from all over Europe, baroque palaces through which Maria Theresa and her brood wandered, Johann Strauss’s lively music, Gustav Klimt’s paint- ings, the concert halls, the unparalleled opera—it’s all still here, as if the empire were still flourishing. Tourism is growing as thousands arrive every year to view Vienna’s great art and architecture, to feast on lavish Viennese pastries, to explore the Vienna Woods, to sail down the Danube, to attend Vienna’s balls, operas, and festivals, and to listen to the “music that never stops.” Visitors today face a newer and brighter Vienna, a city with more joie de vivre and punch than it’s had since before the war. There’s also a downside: Prices are on the rise—they haven’t reached the height of the Ferris wheel at the Prater, but they’re climbing there. ESSENTIALS GETTING THERE By Plane Vienna International Airport (VIE; & 01/70070; http://english.viennaairport.com) is about 19km (12 miles) southeast of the city center. -
