Climate Justice and Public Space: New Streets for Vienna
This publication focusses on the transformation of dense city quarters towards climate justice. Analyses have proved the increasing urban heat effects in the context of climate change in Vienna. Urban heat effects hit particularly historic quarters in the istricts 2., 5., 12., 15. and 20, as well as parts of the districts 10., 11., 16., and 21. Some parts of the urban population are more vulnerable than others: neighbourhoods with little green infrastructure, small children, elderly and people with chronic illnesses, manual workers and persons with low socio-economic status suffer from urban heat. Many of these cannot evade the heat.
A vision for climate reslient streets is worked out based on a study of the current situation in Vienna and on an analysis of
strategies of the City of Vienna to minimize urban heat. In addition, case studies show innovative solutions in other European cities.Five new street typologies are introduced, with space for active mobility, play and rest, with trees and spacious shade and ways to concentrate underground technical infrastructure and minimize of sealed surface. With „New Streets for Vienna“ a systematical transformation towards climate justice is proposed and visualized on the example of two selected urban neighbourhoods.
