tailieunhanh - DONAU CITY - THE FUTURE VIENNA

The area extending between Danube Canal, Danube, New and Old Danube embodies the most dynamic por- tion of Vienna’s stretch of the river. Always considered highly attractive for construction projects, the situation by the water’s edge is strongly enhanced by the inter- sections with the identity-creating urbanistic axis of Wagramer Strasse and the U1 Underground line. Thus the riverside zones are both provided with, and bordered by, signifi cant spatial fi gures and types with high recogni- tion value. The most prominent among those signs are Donau City and the Wagramer Strasse zone. In the past, these sections were developed in differentiated. | DONAU CITY LEGAL INFORMATION MEDIA OWNER PUBLISHER Vienna City Administration MA 21B - District Planning and Land Use Rathausstrasse 14 - 16 1082 Vienna RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENTS MA 21B - DI Ines Mayr DI Elfrieda Gopfrich-Millner TECHNICAL CO-ORDINATION Willibald Bock MA 18 GRAPHIC CONCEPT AND DESIGN Imprima Werbeagentur GmbH PHOTO CREDITS Peter Rigaud media wien Schedl MA 19 MA 18 Christanell Loudon MA 21B Baumschlager Eberle Wien GmbH IZD Tower Bezard Anna Blau F.

Always considered highly attractive for construction projects the situation by the water s edge is strongly enhanced by the intersections with the identity-creating urbanistic axis of Wagramer Strasse and the U1 Underground line. Thus the riverside zones are both provided with and bordered by significant spatial figures and types with high recognition value. The most prominent among those signs are Donau City and the Wagramer Strasse zone. In the past these sections were developed in differentiated fashion on the basis of planning initiatives - such as the one aimed at moving Vienna back to the Danube - and leisure uses. This has resulted in very distinct urbanistic givens and characteristics of waterfront development along the U1 axis a trait typical of the multifaceted way the City of Vienna deals with location assets. The Urban Development Plan 2005 STEP 05 for the first time focuses on the right and left banks of the Danube and defines them as the Waterfront target area.
