Green Smart City Schwechat
Research project
The project "Green Smart City Schwechat" focuses on green and open space as a new driver for the Smart Cities initiative. It is intended as an entry-level project into the Smart City theme and follows an integrative, cross-system approach that aims to prepare for subsequent implementations and to embed them in existing plans and concepts of the city and region. The focus is on the adaptability of urban space to climate change, which already has noticeable effects on urban life in Schwechat.
Based on an analysis of the preconditions in Schwechat, especially with regard to open space availability, green spaces and city climate, a common vision was formulated in consultation with the community and possible starting points for climate-effective measures were identified. For the four selected topics "Schwechat blüht auf", "Schwechat ans Wasser", "Schwechat sorgt vor" and "Schwechat nachhaltig mobil" integrative packages of measures were framed and strategies for their implementation were formulated in the form of a roadmap.
