Vienna Implementation Lab: 2-4 Sept 2009

26/08/2009

On invitation of the International Intervision Institute Martijn Kramer will participate in an Implementation Lab in Vienna from Wednesday 2 September until Friday 4 September.

The Local Study Case:
Development of a glass house gardening area
 The area is situated in the South of Vienna. Size ca. 40 hectares (400.000 m²) cut in two by the by the metro line U6 which runs on a dam ( barrier).The area was a gardening area for a long time. Still a lot of properties are used for gardening (especially green house growing). Some of the owners have sold to building companies, some do not want to sell and some try to speculate. The place is perfectly accessible with 2 metro stations nearby. There would be place for approx. 5.000 to 6.000 apartments.

The problems:

  • How can the area be developed not having all the properties in one hand. How can this one ownership realized or how can the area be developed without having all the realties in one hand ?
  • A school campus of approx. 25.000 m² is needed. Where could such a campus be located and realized financed ? (properties for school buildings have to be provided by the developers).
  • How to deal with the traffic? All the crossings close to the area are already jammed with cars in the peak hours. Can the two metro stations within this area suffice for efficient connection to and from this area?
  • Which functions besides living are applicable there? • How to organize the developing process?

 

The Regional Study case
The question that will be dealt with as the regional case is the connectivity question to the metropolitan area of Vienna of this local study case.
