Twelve recommendations to develop Krems-East

On the previous pages I have outlined a number of spatial issues in Krems-East. Many of these issues are negative aspects of being a spillover area for the Wachau, a result of the disposition of UNESCO. KremsEast does not merely need design solutions to these spatial issues but tools that lead to a healthier relationship with the Wachau. Tools that allow the inhabitants of the Lerchenfeld to have some say over their neighborhood. Tools that lead to a more symbiotic relationship between Krems-East and the Wachau, as it has become abundantly clear that both areas would benefit from this. What follows are twelve design recommendations, roughly organized by scale (L,M,S). The recommendations contain proposals for spatial interventions that lead to better living qualities in Krems-East and can be used as tools for the emancipation of the region. Together, these proposals form a cohesive spatial framework for a more symbiotic relationship with the Wachau.

However, many suggestions can be implemented separately from the framework, even in small steps. This means that some of the easy fixes and low cost measures can be implemented first. Their success might even be a catalyst for further, more complex, developments.
