Das Stadtplanungsleitbild: Die "Stadt der kurzen Wege

Cities are suffering from increasing traffic congestion. The separation of urban functions such as living, working, and recreation is progressing further. The urban planning concept of "the city of short distances" aims to counteract this trend. A mixed-use, compact urban life is desired by city residents, rather than a one-sided concentration of individual functions. Old urban structures should be restored. Within an autonomous district, the functions of living, working, and recreation should ensure short distances and low traffic volume. The city of Vienna has committed to sustainability in its urban development plan of 2005. The urban planning concept of short distances can provide an impetus in this direction. In addition to tasks and efforts, the urban development plan has also defined target areas.
