3.3 Neighbourhood development

WieNeu+ takes a holistic view of the neighbourhood and the local living environment, allowing it to identify and leverage connections and synergies between different local issues and fields of activity.

Special attention is given to the ongoing development and upgrading of public and semi-public spaces. Revitalisation of ground-floor zones and targeted support for local businesses create vibrant neighbourhoods with a diverse mix of uses. Greening and unsealing measures and amenity areas with free public access create climate-resilient outdoor spaces with high quality of life.

WieNeu+ works closely with the respective municipal district administrations and the Vienna Business Agency and utilises the resources of other key partners such as GB* and local businesses and stakeholders.

"For me, urban renewal is more than just ensuring that buildings are in a good state of repair. The public realm, outdoor spaces, vibrant ground-floor zones and good social interaction have a direct impact on people's quality of life and therefore need to be factored into everything we do." (Julia Haberfellner, WieNeu+, City of Vienna – Municipal Department for Technical Urban Renewal)
