III Initial Position and Challenges

Approved: 24. 05. 2005 14

Vienna in the international and regional context:

Due to increased economic and regional interaction, Vienna is more strongly affected by European and world-wide trends (globalisation). Furthermore, it has become clear that many demands of the economy cannot be met by the historic fabric of the city centre and, or even within the city boundaries (> CENTROPE).

Demographic and social change

2000 - 2020 migration into Vienna: 72,800 to 144,800 people.

This equates to an increase in growth of 5-9 percent in over 20 years. This would result in the biggest population in Vienna since 1939 (1.7 million inhabitants). The proportion of elderly is set to increase significantly.

At present 24% of the population were not born in Austria.


Approved: 24. 05. 2005 15

Assumptions made in the population forecast *) Base scenario

Positive and stable economic developmentHigh investment in attractive residential construction Expanding education and research facilities Openness towards immigration

Outward migration into the surrounding regions can be stabilised and reduced slightly.Migration into Vienna and the surrounding regions from Austria and foreign countries Inward migration from the expanded EU region is set to increase slightly. (in particular in second decade)

1. The processes of urban renewal and expansion will take place simultaneously in future.

2. Keeping of the existing qualities of the urban structure and design will be the focus target of the future.

3. Development of central locations accessable with public transportation is the main goal of urban development.

4. Functional additions and interconnections with the region – especially with the twin-city of Bratislava – have to be developed with high ranking transport infrastructure.

5. A modal split-relationship of 45% to 55% (MIV) is the goal for traffic that crosses the city boundary.

Development Areas ofEconomic Significance

Economic market is oriented towards globaleconomic networks as well as the public-private-partnerships – PPP developments

Approved: 24. 05. 2005 29

The development of larger office and retail projects plays an important role in developing and positioning the city as a business location in CENTROPE – Region based on the network-economy. This network only offers oportunities through land supply. Accessibility and access to information are necessary for participation in thenetwork.

It is important to check supply with the demand factors (accessibility, land, building size,...)In order to generate positive economic effects,transport and traffic planning must become a part ofdecisions on business location. Links to the road network are a significant consideration for production-related businesses, distribution andlogistics companies. Also main public transportlinks, such as the underground and local trains andthe accessibility of the airport and the main urbancentres.

Approved: 24. 05. 2005 30

B: Protecting the Industrial and Commercial Sectors and SMEs(not an exclusively market-oriented view, the aspect of supply)Industry, retailers and SMEs in densely built up urban areas should be retained to secure the production base and the supply of goodsand services (concept ‚small cities‘, providing as many goods and services from within a given urban area as possible, also contributing toward better quality of life of the ageing population).

Large-scale retail and industrial parks form a basis for the city‘s economy. Such areas should be retained and to a certain extent preferred. Since production techniques are becoming less and less environmentally damaging, the integration of commercially compatible land-uses can be used to break up largemonofunctional urban areas.

Stable Viennese shopping street


C: The Functions of Centres (New formulation of the centres-system)

Urban centres perform the most important economic functionin a city. In the 80s and 90s, such areas were clearly dominated by the shopping street system that had evolved over time. Today, the movement of shopping centres – and recently also office centres- towards the periphery has led to less historically influenced developments and towards a more polycentric system. The development of a new center typology is the result .It is suggested that the CBD function is to be adopted by sub-centres in the areas Erdberger Mais, Aspern and the train station Vienna-Central-Europe (reserves of land and thepossible access to modes of public transport and the airport). The shopping streets should be protected through a combination of measures.

Guideline - Green areas and Leisure Spaces


Approved: 24. 05. 2005 35

Vienna is known as a green city. The surface area of theurban area is approximately 41,490 ha.

• 15,709 ha of this area is green space including Greenbelt

• 2,217 ha are public parks of the city or state• 1.925 ha is water

In total, the population of Vienna can access 19,851hectares of green and leisure space – this equates to 48 % of the entire urban area.Green Spaces in the Urban RegionThe landscapes of the city‘s region are diverse, creatingAn environment that is varied in character, challengesAnd potentials. The protection and further development ofsuch landscapes is crucial to keep such regions alive.The guiding principle ‚Green Space in the Urban Region‘Defines the boundaries between such landscapes andthe built-up city.

Access to Green Spaces


Approved: 24. 05. 2005 36

Development beyond the city boundary is forbidden. This will create equal conditions for the natural landscapesBisamberg, the culturally significant Marchfeld, the area along the Danube and the national park Donau-Auen, terraced landscapes in the south of Vienna and the Wienerwald. The Viennese greenbelt policy practically forbids any development. It is secured through the nature conservation law of 1905.

Green and Open Spaces in the Urban AreaNearly half the Viennese population lives in areas that are located at least 500 metres from parks within the built environment (such as Augarten, Belvedere, Schweizergarten, Türkenschanzpark and Kongresspark).

Goals:• Considering the typical form of the urban landscape • Preserving the small scale interlocking relationship between

built-up and green spaces• Improving the accessibility to the green and open spaces• Not encroaching waterways• Taking the objectives of the ‚Nature Network‘ into

consideration.

Urban Development – Medium Density

Approved: 24. 05. 2005 40

Sustainable urban development includes the principle of a ‚compact urban development‘(The city of short paths‘, ‚small-city-concept‘...)as well as the preference of brownfield over greenfield development. Many planning processes must be carried out in parallel:

1. Inner city regeneration

2. Projects focused on internal urban expansion (Bahnhof Wien-Europa Mitte)

3. Projects focused on outward urban expansion (e.g. Flugfeld Aspern)

Development Priorities


Approved: 24. 05. 2005 41

Development PrioritiesAreas with particularly high development potential are illustrated in the following maps, showing the main areas designated for urban development (in development stages and showing the priorities for transport infrastructure.)

Approved: 24. 05. 2005 42

HabitationDemand for PropertyThe level of construction in the next years will depend heavily on

population and economic development.• Assuming an average occupancy figure of 1.8 - 2.2 people per

dwelling, the future demand for property due to population growth is 50,000 dwellings in the base scenario (2000-2020, margin of +/-16,500). This equates to a demand for roughly 2,500 dwellingsper year.

• The future demand for residential construction is not only dependent on the quantitative developement of the population, but also on the qualitative changes in living needs and the trend towards an increase in floor space per inhabitant.

Construction ActivityFinancially supported construction activity will aim to supply, onaverage, 6,000 dwellings per year (margin 5-7,000 dwellings/year)

Since there are expansive cross-district networks in Vienna, District DevelopmentPlans and planning on this level will not be carried out. They will be replaced bymulti-district programmes (in the sense of a program management). Support teams(districts, authorities, departments, citizen boards) will be created to assist the makingand implementation of programmes. From 2006 onwards, the specific location of target areas, the tasks, and thesequence the working steps will be developed intensively with help from the Department 21 (after a responsible contact person has been named).The work on the programme will be carried out sequentially, which will allow theconcentration of expert and support capacities on a manageable number of programmes (which will partly entail very different working approaches). Despite the different working approaches, some minimum standards for these tasks should characterize the process, such as project leaders, a limited project length, a timeplan, milestones, stakeholder participation, public relations, participatory approaches,...)

All districts, relevant actors of all affected institutions and representatives of thepopulation and economy are invited to participate in the creation and implementation process.
