Vienna relies on green: 23 new climate projects start in Alsergrund & Co.

Alsergrund, Österreich - Climate protection is very important in Vienna: The Viennese climate team recently presented 23 new projects that are to be implemented in the districts of Alsergrund, Meidling and Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus in the next two years. These initiatives could improve the lives of Viennese: sustainably improve inside and at the same time make an important contribution to climate protection. According to OE24 Innovative suggestions selected. Over 1,600 ideas flowed in by the population since autumn and were summarized in thematic groups. This shows how important the Viennese is: the participation of its environment is.

In the selection process, not only creativity, but also feasibility played a crucial role. Together with ideas providers: Inside and Expert: Inside from the city, the most promising approaches were specified in project workshops. These were then presented to the district jury for decision. The final selection took place in a consent process on three weekends in May and June. The citizens have not only discussed the ideas inside, but also proved a good hand about project development.

The selection of the projects

A total of seven projects were selected in the Alsergrund district, including:

• A project to increase renewable energy.
• The greening of streets to improve the microclimate.
• an energy community for electricity to residents: inside.
• new cycling routes for safe bike paths.

In the Meidling district, residents can look forward to eight other projects, such as:

• Establishment of a free bicycle self-help workshop.
• A permanent biodiversity corridor from the cable plant to Sagedergasse.

Last but not least, also in the Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus district, eight exciting projects are on the agenda, including:

• The redesign of Friesgasse into a climate crossing "meeting zone".
• The redesign of Maria from the victory place to a local recreation and break room.

look into the future

In the coming year there will be even more opportunities to get involved: The districts of Josefstadt and Penzing will be part of the Vienna climatic team in 2025/26. From mid -September 2025, all people living in Vienna can submit ideas. This shows that the city appreciates the voice of the citizens: inside and actively involved in the design of urban life.

The efforts to climate -oriented urban development are also in accordance with scientific knowledge to reduce greenhouse gas. The Federal Environment Agency emphasizes the importance of sustainable construction methods and urban mobility, which can make a significant contribution to reducing greenhouse gases. By promoting projects such as those of the Viennese climatic team, an important step is taken in the direction of a livable, climate -friendly city.
