Urban
and local development
We are experienced in finding solutions for planning problems on various levels: from the urban ag-glomeration Vienna to a range of smaller municipalities in the northern Burgenland.
In Vienna we elaborated essential contributions to the STEP05, the Viennese Urban Development Plan. On municipality level we assisted several municipalities in coping with long term development or settlement problems, we also guided them on their way to the digital era.

| Upgrade of the Central Area of Simmering |
|
The Viennese district of Simmering provides good high-level infrastructure and valuable potential areas from the viewpoint of urban development policy. Still in many aspects location advantages could not be put into effect until now. Especially the internal centers' structure, the redesign resp. reorganisation of existing building structures and the potential contribution of the Simmeringer Hauptstraße to integration and image building of the district has only been solved rudimentarily. A major challange is an intensive urban planning treatment of the central area of Simmering. Building on previous activities in cooperation with Architekten am Graben an implementation oriented concept was elaborated to upgrad the central area.

| PIER - Positioning of Neusiedl am See as Public Transport Friendly Community via Installation of a Innovative Multimodal Mobility Hub |
|
Within the framework of the umbrella project "Environmentally sustainable transport and tourism in sensitive areas, using the Lake Neusiedl - Fertö-Tó region as an example"in Neusiedl am See the Project PIER was set up, with the overall goal to implement a evironmental friendly multimodal public transport hub. Basing on a mobility and operational concept, which proposed a solution to connect the railway station „Bad Neusiedl am See“ and the nearby bus stops with the important destinations of the City (historic center, lake) for cyclists and pedestrians, a masterplan for the development of an urban harbour with a connection to the Neusiedler See was elaborated. In detail the areas concerned were analysed as regards real and legal aspects as well as two system models for the urban harbor were elaborated. In the masterplan the planned usages including quantification are drawn and described. The city harbor Neusiedl am See is supposed to house a watershuttle station, a yachtclub, a service center for sailing and water sports as well as a information and experience center "nature-water-cultural heritage".

| Analyses on Industrial Areas in Vienna 2008 - WBA 2008 |
|
Vienna aims at keeping the structural spectrum of its economy. The analysis identifies certain zones, which are especially suitable for such branches of industry, that cannot be mixed with other usages without conflicts (esp. manufactoring industry). Building on an extensive analysis and an estimation concerning required industrial areas, strategic recommendations adressing the planning authorities as well as the operative level were developed. In addition a proposal for a checklist was elaborated, which sets an uniform approach for conversion requests of production areas, which are not located within these zones. The analysis was elaborated including relevant planning departments, the Vienna Business Agency and the wohnfonds_wien. The WBA was accepted by the Viennese municipal council.

The study aimed at the identification of approaches to the problem of stakeholders and actors of urban development in Vienna as well as in other cities in Europe. In doing so, best-practise examples as well as problem solutions should be identified, which possibly could be applied in Vienna.
