1 VIENNA: SETTING THE STAGE Vienna today and tomorrow In 2013, Vienna’s population had increased by almost 200,000 persons as compared to 2000; at the moment, the city has approx. 1.75 million inhabitants. According to forecasts, this development will continue in coming years; around 2030, Vienna will have arrived at 2 million citizens. For the entire Viennese agglomeration, which comprises the adjoining districts of Lower Austria and parts of northern Burgenland, the population growth predicted for the same period equals more than 400,000 inhabitants. As a result, the metropolitan region of Vienna ( Stadtregion +) in 2030 will probably be home and workplace for over 3 million people. The composition of the population, too, will have changed. The group over 60 years of age will have increased, as will the bottom of the demographic pyramid: in all, Vienna will have become the “youngest” and most international of all federal provinces of Austria. Past growth has already visibly changed Vienna: the city today is more diverse than ever before; people from approx. 200 nations live here; one third of the population is foreign-born, and close to 50 percent have a migration background, i. e. at least one parent was born abroad. Different lifestyles, value systems and attitudes, changing gender roles and a great variety of economic, linguistic, religious and cultural backgrounds characterise housing and living patterns, employment relationships and leisure activities. At the same time, Vienna experienced profound changes as a business location: due to competition and the catching-up process of the new EU Member States, Vienna’s economy came under massive modernisation and efficiency pressures over the past two decades, triggering correspondingly rapid structural change: today, the urban economy is dominated by technology-oriented industries and the service sector. Above all knowledge-intensive services, such as telecommuni - cations, insurance, legal and tax counselling, but also the creative industries, have grown significantly. These changes have left a marked urbanistic and architectural imprint on the cityscape: modern education and research facilities, above all the new campus of Vienna’s University of Economics and Business, other new campus sites ( “University Location Vienna Concept”), infrastructure projects such as Vienna Main Station or Westbahnhof, company premises, such as Siemens City in the 21 st municipal district Floridsdorf or Viertel Zwei in the 2 nd municipal district Leopoldstadt, and new urban quarters, such as Donau City, have all altered the city’s face. 16
