A journey of discovery through Vienna’s new district. Is the city of women and short distances also climate-friendly?
Guided tour together with urban tree expert DI Alexander Mayr-Harting
Susanna Oberforcher / Seestadt
Why do I run Seestadt? Because I am curious to see something new being created in the old city of Vienna, which is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe – and a whole new district for 30,000 people.
In Seestadt itself, I like the concept of short distances and the fact that the needs of women – and their children in particular – are taken into account, which I think is important and right – a city in which the residents are the most important thing and not the cars – this opens up completely new possibilities and certainly makes for an interesting exchange of opinions during the guided tours.
The residents of Seestadt are also involved in the planning process – something that is only possible in historic Vienna, if at all. A city even with a lake as a reference point – and no church or castle as a center of power – definitely worth living in and certainly worth seeing!
