Vienna becomes a health and climatic city: three large projects revealed!

In the past few days, Vienna shone at the city trilogy, which took place on June 11th and 12th and attracted top-class guests from Hamburg and Zurich. Mayor Michael Ludwig presented innovative projects that Vienna not only position as a health location, but also as a pioneer in climate protection. dunav reports that the city takes an important step into the future with numerous approaches.

A special focus is on the clinic Floridsdorf , which is one of the most modern of its kind in Europe. Here, top medicine combines with ecological thinking. The cardiac and vascular center as well as innovative thoracic surgery not only offer first-class medical services, but also a large simulation center for the training of doctors: inside. The GrätzelHeitung, which covers up to 70 % of the heat -neutral heat neutral, is also impressive.

sustainable energy for the city

Another future-oriented project is the Waste2Value system in Simmering . This pilot plant creates CO₂-neutral diesel and kerosene from biogenic waste. The goal: 10 million liters of green fuel per year are to be provided for the Vienna bus fleet. This initiative not only supports climate protection, but also innovative use of resources, which is essential today.

But that's not all: the large -scale heat pump at Ebswien has been ensuring that climate -neutral district heating is obtained from cleaned waste water. This technology is currently being used for 56,000 households and soon even 112,000 households will be in prospect. The special thing: The electricity required for this comes 100 % from renewable sources. This shows that climate protection, technology and quality of life can go hand in hand.

But what about other European cities? The traffic sector is a central problem for climate protection in Germany and many other countries. Difu emphasizes that it is important to reduce motorized private transport in cities by a wide range of mobility. The implementation of a traffic transition in urban space is not only a challenge, but also harbors opportunities to reduce noise emissions and improve air quality.

shape the future

At the local level, integrated approaches are required to strengthen the environmental association. Foot and bike traffic must be promoted in a targeted manner. Solutions for the transformation of the fossil traffic sector into a decarbonized mobility system are available, but must be implemented in concrete terms. Best practice examples from other cities could give valuable impulses.

The Initiative Future City Bands on research projects, to reduce climate-damaging emissions and quality of life to improve. Citizen participation in projects also promotes the participation of urban areas, which is very important today.

The connection of climate protection, economic innovations and the fundamental needs of the citizens: Inside, shows that a living city must not only be a place to live, but also a space for sustainable development. Vienna shows how you have a good knack for air conditioning projects that focus on both health and the environment.
