BiotopeCity is Smart – Biotope-City as an innovative process for the solution of future challenges on the example of the former Coca Cola area in Vienna
Abstract
Climate change, pollution and increasing social heterogeneity are growing challenges for Austrian cities. Especially the adaptation of infrastructure causes tremendous costs and also economic and social costs rise because of the increasing number of hot days, higher particulate pollution and social tensions. What are the solutions to meet these challenges? ‚Biotope City’ is a concept that follows these objectives. In Vienna, a recently started project for a residential neighborhood of about 950 units, situated in the Coca Cola-area (CCA) first took the concept 'Biotope City' as a basis for their masterplan. All actors from planning, implementation and (later) use of the project have agreed to realize differentiated and coordinated measures of urban greening. This objective gives the project a model-like character whose importance can reach far beyond Vienna. In particular it is about the implementation of a set of urban greening actions that have though been realized as isolated solutions, but never as part of a systematic and concerted action: innovative methods for estimating effects and costs of green vegetation, integral, cooperative planning procedures, adaptation of the regulating system of urban planning to 'living' construction elements and new approaches for the maintenance of urban greening including residents. The exploratory study identifies the obstacles that hinder the concept 'Biotope City' and works out proposals on how they can be structurally eliminated. The project team examines the extent to which deletions of greening actions can be avoided, already at an early stage of planning, through the use of new numerical calculation methods to estimate climatic effects and costs of planting. The project team believes that with this project there is a unique opportunity to contribute to the much-needed adaptation of objectives, methods, rules and urban planning procedures to the changing conditions of urban climate, ecology and social reality in a transdisciplinary process.
