2017 / TU Wien Location Site Supervisors
Urban Development Project Eisenstadt, Austria Martinkaserne Daniela Allmeier, Katrin Hagen
The site is located in Eisenstadt, in the capital city of Burgenland in an area currently used by the military. Due to its usage, the area was mainly undeveloped, enclosed and encircled by brick walls. These spatial barriers interrupt the urban structure of the city and leave the area with no connections to the surroundings. The Martin Kaserne is a listed building, located in the heart of the site, and it spreads over more than 7000 square meters. It was built in 1858 and it is characterized by romanesque revival architecture infl uenced by moorish style. Eisenstadt is an economic, cultural and educational centre of the region, with currently 14.000 residents. Due to its central role, it is confronted with large commuter fl ows. More than 10.000 people (excluding cross-border commuters) commute to Eisenstadt day to day to work, school or pursue other activities. Moreover, due to the predicted population and economic growth, Eisenstadt is experiencing a considerable development pressure. According to the Urban Development Plan of the city, new development areas should be assigned within the city limits. The military used, undeveloped area has a great location and it is situated in walking distance from the historical centre, infrastructural facilities or the railway station, therefore, the site has a strong potential to become a lively residential, leisure and business area. The aim of the proposal was to create a masterplan for the area thus develop a new vision and a guideline for the transformation of the site. The objective was to establish a new quartier that off ers residential spaces and at the same time creates spaces for businesses and leisure activities that are relevant for the city and region. It is aimed to revive the historic building of the caserne, to give new features and to activate it for city life with the help of supporting connectivity and continuity between the area and surroundings.

CONCEPT / OBJECTIVES
NATURBAN / Creating urban spaces while utilizing the natural resources is the aim of this concept. This is a huge challenge since we need to create streets that promote active and social life, at the same time we need to save the ecological resources to support sustainability at local scale. Hence, the concept of the city of short distances plays an important role in the planning of the new quartier. For this reason, compact structures, relatively high density with an extended network of pedestrian and cycling paths and green spaces that provide opportunities for social interaction are promoted.

E
„F
isenstadt is not just the economic and educational centre of Burgenland but, based on the historical importance of the Palace Esterházy and the impact of Joseph Haydn, the city centre elevates cultural, social and tourist focus as well. These functions should be further developed and synergies must be created between the tourist and commercial development of the old town through the new quartier to St. Georgen am Leithagebirge. The atmosphere and stimulating ambience of the historic centre should be extended to the caserne areal to reduce barriers and establish connections and continuity. This idea could be achieved with the creation of high-quality pedestrian connections and the mixed-use development of the new quartier.

rom home on the running track to the sports field” (STEP Eisenstadt) is a quality that small towns like Eisenstadt with broad natural resources can offer particularly well.
Eisenstadt is facing with the challenge of providing sports- and leisure infrastructure in outdoor areas, thus promoting sports and physical activity for all generations is highly important. Currently, the site is enclosed from the residential use but has a great untapped potential of green spaces. The aim is here to secure the natural ecology of the area and, at the same time, to develop quality active spaces for the city.

Surface parking will be limited and underground car parking will be provided. 3 / FUNCTIONS DISTRIBUTION Mixed-use development supports the life, work, play and entertainment environment in the entire district. The business district is placed in continuation of the city centre. Alongside the promenade, the residential function is mixed with business, commercial, gastronomical and cultural use. A new Education Centre is located I the south of the new „Active Green” zone.

2 / PEDESTRIAN NETWORK A close network of different connections connects the district to the surroundings. The new area is designed as a car-free zone thus continuity and accessibility play a central role in the development of pedestrian and cycle paths. The main axes connect the different central areas of the neighbourhood and secondary axes increase the accessibility between the blocks. 4 / GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE To counteract the lack of public spaces in the city and to provide quality green and recreational areas, the green area is divided into two different zones. “Urban Wilderness” is located in the northern part of the area, whereas “Active Green” space is located in the south. The promenade provides space for free time activities and makes the quartier more accessible from downtown and the surrounding areas.
Leaving spaces unplanned in the cities is fundamental to create stronger ecological areas that can affect the lives of those who live around

2018 / TU Wien Location Site Supervisors
Spatial Development Project Vienna, Austria South of Favoriten Rudolf Scheuvens, René Ziegler, Peter Görgl, Beatrix Gasienica-Wawrytko, Harald Frey, Justin Kadi
The site is a target area of urban development (assigned by the city of Vienna) and located in Favoriten, in the periphery of the suburb of south Vienna. It is characterized by largely homogeneous, monofunctional and undeveloped areas, mainly used for agricultural purposes. The development and the construction of the area started in the 14th century. The current form of the historical village was developed in the turn of the century and the village-like character of these streets are still dominant. Between 1930’s and 70’s a huge wave of construction of predominantly prefabricated residential housing blocks took place. At the same time, the periphery of the area was steadily developed and is characterized by small single-family houses connected to the green belt zone. Currently, 22 600 people live in the territory of Oberlaa and Rothneusiedl. With the extension of the subway line U1 in 2017 to Oberlaa, the city center can be reached within 15 minutes. The site is experiencing considerable development pressure due to the U1 extension and Vienna’s predicted strong population growth. The aim of the proposal was to develop a new vision and sustainable strategies to progress and guide the transformation of the area from a bedroom community to a lively residential, leisure and business hub over the next 30 years. The objective is to preserve and strengthen the historically, culturally and geographically important elements of the area whilst maintaining the existing urban forms and community, at the same time establishing connectivity and continuity between the site and the surrounding area.

SPATIAL THESIS
The (growing) city consumes its historically grown structures at the suburb especially on the edges: this has the potential to create conflict
The residents of the area want to preserve their historically grown and self-created structures of the suburb. On the other hand, there is a great need for urban development to create housing for the rapidly growing population of Vienna. For this purpose, previously undeveloped areas that can be found especially on the outskirts of the city, should be mobilized. This will inevitably change the composition and thus the homogeneity of this more rural part of the city.
20
The future city has new demands on the functionality of its components
Due to its location on the periphery of the city, this part of the south of Vienna has generously dimensioned open and green spaces. However, these are hardly or not at all connected and, therefore, do not fulfill different functions. This concerns several other spaces of the area, thus, they show up monofunctions without any mixed-use or any centres. On the other hand, there is a changing view of the city that strives for a lively, diverse and resilient space and this transformation has an impact particularly in urban development areas.
The subway on its own does not create a city
The subway extension to the Therme Oberlaa has led to a high-level public transport connection in an area where single-family houses and allotment gardens dominate. In the future, urban development will take place there, but urban structures and functions are still missing in order to create a city.

STRATEGY PLAN FOR SOUTH OF VIENNA
OUR APPROACH
Urban development requires a holistic view. A development area is not barely the sum of subspaces since each of them is interdependent and therefore cannot exist on its own.
W
ith every single measure in each subspace must be paid attention to how this measure affects the big picture. Therefore, the issue is not to strengthen only individual parts of the area but the entire space simultaneously. Thus working with existed resources and surroundings is crucially important. Urban extension areas cannot be considered divided from their surroundings, thus in parallel with the planning and development of the new area, all the surroundings must be further developed, revitalized and activated so the area as a whole can be enhanced. That means furthermore, under the premise of „internal development before external development” less dissection and fragmentation of landscapes, habitats and the preservation of larger agricultural areas as contribution to soil protection and sustainable and “soft” urban renewal. Thus our focus is on the active re-use of vacant lands and brownfields before take green fields into the planning of brand new quartiers. Our vision is the “city for all” that means that city spaces must offer anything to all population group. Therefore, centers of the sites must be correspondingly different and need to refer to different functions but also need to be flexible and resilient enough to be able to adapt to changing circumstances. A city centre is seen as the living room of the city. With the strengthening and boost of the subcenters, our goal is to give a new way of life to the edge of the city and make the engrained image of the periphery - which prevail in our heads - forgotten and replace them with new ones.

E
ach city has its centres - spatially and culturally intense places - where urban life concentrates thereby are places of diversity and liveliness. In the Urban Development Plan of Vienna (STEP 2025) centre development is considered to be of high signifi cance. The goal is to strengthen the diversity of Vienna’s centres thereby set new impulses for economic prosperity as well as for quality of life. The concept of the city of short distances – set as a goal by the city of Vienna- requires change in the structure of existing centres, moreover, a certain consciousness in the planning of the new ones. This means the concertation of housing-related services and an extensive network of central functions, good integration into the public transport network, increased density in terms of population and centre related functions as well as cooperation and organization at the regional level. The diversity of urban functions and users makes urban centres generate public life therefore they require attractive public spaces. Traditionally, centres are considered as places where social cohesion, economic viability and cultural innovation manifest themselves. The city centers are important hubs for traders, business owners and investors who play a decisive role in shaping these locations through their shops and buildings. Centres are most likely to be able to create identity in cities and quartiers, thus, they are supposed to play a key role in urban development. Therefore, polycentrism is the core of this concept.

Principle 1 / MAXIMIZE THE POTENTIAL OF EACH SUB-CENTRE
Maximizing the potential of each sub-centre is achieved by different actions through individual measures in each centre.These fields of action are specifically customized to the south of Vienna and show the particular needs for action. Since each centre has its own focus so all of them have dedicated fields of action that need to fit to the polycentric network. However, spaces between centres need to be revived and developed as well, so the centres do not stand in the middle of functional deserts.
FIELDS OF ACTION STRENGTHENING THE NUMBER AND DIVERSITY OF WORKPLACES Those centers that already provide employment need to be further developed in order to attract as diverse people, skills and talents as possible to contribute to mixed centers. CREATING PLACES FOR COMMUNICATION AND INTERACTION THROUGH THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF PUBLIC SPACE Among other things, the centre analysis has shown that the availability of quality meeting points is expandable. These are meant to be consumption-free, public and green spaces DIVERSIFICATION OF GASTRONOMY AND LOCAL FOOD SUPPLY Currently, there is a limited offer of local food and gastronomy in the area, but centres need a diverse offer that is appealing to different population groups. ACTIVATION OF VACANT SPACES The previous shopping streets are characterized by high vacancy. In the sense of sustainable and centre-focused urban development, these must be filled with new life. REDESIGNING THE STREETSCAPE The street space is not only for the traffic but it is also an important part of public space and therefore an essential component of public life. In a car-oriented area such as South of Vienna, creating pedestrian friendly streetscape is crucially important. CREATING COMMON SPACES BETWEEN THE CENTRES Although this development principle is about the centres, they cannot be isolated from each other, thus the spaces between them must be further developed.

CENTRE DEVELOPMENT PLAN | HIMBERGER STRASSE
GUIDELINES / MEASURES Due to an alternative truck bypass route, the Himberger Straße is no longer burdened by heavy traffi c. This creates space for safe fast cycling lanes and wide, attractive sidewalks that allow barrier-free movement and quality public spaces. In order to secure appropriate space for broader and greener sidewalks 70% of the pubic parking spaces are relocated to a multi-storey car park in the northern part of the Himberger Straße. The Park + Ride facility next to the Neulaa Subway Station will also be relocated to the parking garage, transforming ex parking spaces into public open spaces. All these measures, as well as adequate vacancy management and where possible, further consolidation, support the revitalization of Himberger Straße as a shopping street.

Principle 2 / CONNECTION BETWEEN CENTRES & SUBSPACES
Which measures improve the attractiveness of street space hereby also the public space?
THE DAY-TO-DAY NETWORK - allows to get ahead quickly with public and private transport, provide more safety for pedestrians and cyclists, but also ensures quality public spaces by developing green areas and street furniture. Although these connections off er space for private transport, pedestrians and cyclists are still in the focus and thus a pedestrian-friendly city is promoted. This goes hand in hand with a “city of short distances”. This means that infrastructure facilities and diverse urban activities are located in walking distance or ensure better access to services and facilities via public transport and cycling. In highways such as Favoritenstraße, Himbergerstraße and Laaer-Berg-Straße traffi c calming measures take place. In addition, separate pedestrian and cycle paths are created to enable cyclists fast speed and safe driving. The day-to-day network also represent public transport axes that connect the sub-spaces of the area.
NETWORK FOR LEISURE ACTIVITIES - or “it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey” means connections through the area, where the focus is on strolling and doing activities on the road. They connect existing roads and expand them by completely new ones. The aim of this network is to create connections between district-relevant (for example, large parks such as the Laaer Berger Volkspark and the green spaces between blocks) and highersignifi cance open spaces (such as the Liesingbach, the Kurpark and city hiking trails) as well as to the new extension areas. The objectives are here to determine specifi c measures that create a recreational network in the area, as well as off er a citywide attraction under the motto „it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey”. This network means short walks that are attractive and manageable for all population groups, and gives opportunity to everyone for nearnatural relaxation and daily activities close to their habitat. For this reason, these paths are not for motorized private transport, but mixed bike and footpaths that support low speed traffi c.

Principle 3 / DISTRICT EXTENSION A / NEW BUSINESS CENTRE AND STARTUP INCUBATOR
B / CONSOLIDATION OF THE INDUSTRIAL PARK ROTHNEUSIDL
The immediately adjacent Technical College and the great location between two centres give this area a high priority for its development. It is need to be ensured that this location can not be isolated from its surrounding. The development needs to complete and support the functions of the Technical College and the current structure of the site needed to be taken into consideration.
There is great potential to develop further the existing industrial / business location. Underused land, sites and parking areas, that make up almost half of the area, should be opened up for new commercial functions and public space. The parking situation will be solved with a parking garage on the edge of the area, in close proximity to the subway station. The existing low-rise buildings will be supplemented with additional floors where offices and public facilities can settle. The goal is to create urbanity through public spaces and new functions in a currently monofunctional area.
C / FUTURE RESIDENTIAL AREA IN ROTHNEUSIEDL When developing this area, it is especially necessary to refer to its environment and current structure of the surrounding. With efficient land use in the form of row houses, a FSI of 1.2 is to be achieved. Public spaces that support social life must be realized.
E / KURPARK SOUTH - FUTURE RESIDENTIAL AREA This is an infill development so the environment’s structure needs to take into consideration. A concentrated and multifunctional neighborhood needs to be achieved here.
F / BY THE BRIDGE - FUTURE MULTIFUNCTIONAL DEVELOPMENT AREA WITH CENTRE POTENTIAL The Landscape Protection Area between the railway tracks and the development area must be protected: it may be developed further, but not built-up. Thus, the fresh air corridor and the green space are maintained. The optimal connection to the north is ensured on the one hand by a Pedestrian and Cycling Bridge that leads over the railway tracks, on the other hand by a bus line. A linear park also connects the extension area to the Kurpark and Liesingbach. Thus, this area will not be isolated despite its peripheral location. In addition, a multifunctional centre must be created here.
34
D / URBAN VILLAGE - FUTURE MULTIFUNCTIONAL DEVELOPMENT AREA WITH CENTRE POTENTIAL It is important to consider the surroundings and take building typologies and heights into consideration when planning this area. The biggest challenge is the integration of the two existing roads running through the area with single-family houses. The existing green zones and protected landscape areas must be included in the future master plan in a sustainable way: they can be further developed, but not builtup. The area is also connected through green space connection in the form of linear park with the northern part of Oberlaa and is therefore not to be isolated in the landscape. A smooth transition of building development into the landscape is required. There is also potential for centre development with the desired density, size, multifunctionality and public accessibility of the area.
G / KURPARK NORTH - FUTURE RESIDENTIAL AREA This is an infill development so the environment’s structure needs to take into consideration. A concentrated and multifunctional neighborhood needs to be achieved here.

THE URBAN VILLAGE VILLAGE OF THE 21ST CENTURY REINTERPRETATION OF THE VILLAGE LIFE FOR THE CITY
The Urban Village presents and promotes diverse and intergenerational lifestyles and ways of living. Here, children can play carefree and trouble-free on the streets, people can let off steam in the Urban Wilderness, experience local food of the permaculture garden and walk for local art and culture to the Haschahof. Village structures meet with urbanization and combine the best of both worlds: creates gentle symbiosis to provide more sustainable, enjoyable and meaningful life. Urban anonymity is replaced by neighborliness. The core family is expanded by the neighborhood family and spaces are platforms of interaction and connection. Thus, Urban Village is not isolated from its surroundings as extension areas often are. On the contrary, there is a linear park as green connection to the Liesingbach and to the public spaces in the Per-Albin-Hansson residential area. The motorized private transport plays a subordinate role while pedestrian and cycle networks and new bus routes are promoted. Although the Urban Village is located on the outskirts of the city, it is still in the middle of life!

TYPOLOGY Typology: Attached buildings with inner courtyards Feature: 2-3 Storeys Function: Residential or mixed-use blocks
Typology: Clusters Feature: 2-3 Storeys Function: Multi-family houses
The village-like structure is reinterpreted for the 21st century and is updated with urbanity. Thus, the design of the new area refers to the existing, partially historic building structure of the environment in terms of density and appearance, but its own identity is created and it is equipped with new meanings and uses. There are two types of building typologies: attached buildings with inner courtyards in the north and cluster buildings in the south. The attached buildings are designed with semi-private, green courtyards mixed with private gardens, which off er communal space for the residents and contribute to a sense of neighborhood. Between the blocks public and community uses take place as well. In the south, there are multi-family houses, ordered to clusters as gentle transitions to the landscape. Between them, communal green spaces are settled that accommodate group activities such as gatherings and games. 37

1 / NETWORK AND ACCESS
2 / GREEN SPACE
The area is criss-crossed with public squares and places that are open for various communal activities so they are kept free from private transport. At the same time, this requires traversable walking and cycling network, including the two existing residential streets.
The development area is surrounded by two protected landscape areas, that need to be further developed as an urban wilderness to provide green space and thus immediate recreational opportunities. There are two strategic projects: a linear park that extends the green axis from the Per-Albin-Hansson residential area to the south and, on the other hand, various green spots along the Liesingbach, which should bring people closer to the water. Overall, the green areas make up 9.4 ha.

4 / FUNCTION DISTRIBUTION
As the promotion of different public mobility forms, the stops should be accessible from any point of the area between 250 meters. Overall 2 bus lines connect the Urban Village to more
According to our spatial thesis, mixed-use is considered as an essential component of urban development in the 21st century. The new quartier must also offer more than a residential use. Therefore, housing comes together with active ground oors, educational facilities and community spaces in order to create as mixed and heterogeneous neighborhoods as possible.

5 / CAR USE Private cars are only allowed to run on the collector roads around the area and can be parked in collective garages. With the aim of avoiding competition between public and private transport, collective garages also should be reached within 250 meters. In addition, a car-sharing concept need to be developed for the further stages of the implementation.
6 / LINEAR PARK AS CENTRE OF THE NEW QUARTIER Centres not only connect the new and existing areas but they also create connections between parts of the new quartier and between their inhabitants. The linear park as form of a promenade offers centre-relevant functions such as gastronomy, shopping and consumption-free places as well. Also, the Liesingbach is to be reached on foot.

BACHELOR’S THESIS
2018 July Location Supervisor
Technische Universität Wien | Technical University of Vienna Vienna, Austria Leonhard Plank
CO-DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY Models of cooperation between local administration and citizen-driven initiatives in urban (re-)development processes
In
many European cities, self-made urban development (“Stadt-selbermachen”) emerged as a new trend in urban development and regeneration in the wake of the financial and resulting sovereign debt crisis of 2008. The Do-it-Yourself (DIY)-urbanism is a co-productive and citizen-driven urban development where locals not only act as temporary stakeholder of the revitalization but also as initiators that are responsible for the long-run regeneration and development processes. The relevance of grassroots projects in urban (re-)development are constantly increasing especially in areas, where spaces could not be taken to the market on a profit-oriented way or even where market-oriented interests contradict public and local concerns. It is claimed that people put up new demands regarding the way they want to live together and mean to live in a neighborhood where social life and civic engagement take place. 40
The DIY-urban developers have their own vision of how they want to live hence they fulfill these visions by launching local projects thus neighborhood initiatives can be central components of a welfare-oriented urban development. Public administration plays a central role in enabling or hindering the self-organized activism of local grassroots. They often own the properties where these communities and organizations want to conduct their activities and decide on whether to allocate available public budget towards certain activities, or rather develop the legal framework within the operational parameters of these organizations.
BACHELOR’S
T
THESIS
he paper provides an overview of how local authorities (i.e. cities, municipalities, districts) can support local communities through creating necessary tools and frameworks for the efficient, legal and sustainable operation of citizen-driven initiatives as part of local urban (re-)development.
The thesis defines the relevant terms of citizen-driven urban development such as grassroots initiatives, “Raumunternehmen”, co-production and co-governance of the city. Then insight into the shift from participation of citizens in urban planning to the co-production of cities will be provided. This is followed by an elaboration on how the crisis of traditional urban policies as well as economic and financial crisis incentivized citizen-run, civic initiatives in urban regeneration and development processes. Subsequently, the importance of cooperation and the interest of local authorities supporting citizen-driven initiatives is highlighted. Through case studies four European programs (GOOD GROWTH FUND LONDON, BIP/ZIP LISBON, VIVERO DE INICIATIVAS CIUDADAS MADRID / MARES MADRID, SYNATHINA ATHENS) are portrayed as models of co- production and co-governance. The case studies show that municipalities can develop several tools to promote cooperation with the community and support the efficient and sustainable operation of citizendriven initiatives such as providing funding, mentoring and incubating services, consultation with experts, trainings, mapping practices, spaces for knowledge exchange and network-building as well as permission of use of municipality buildings or developing subservient and inclusive urban policies. As a consequent, it can be seen that there is no universal model of co-production or co-governance of cities but there are some tools that municipalities could implement as long as they adapt them to their aims and resources.
