2 VIENNA: BUILDING THE FUTURE<br />
CONSISTENT<br />
DEVELOPMENT OF<br />
LAND POTENTIAL<br />
It is planned to develop the city within the existing urban zone as<br />
well as by utilising the remaining land potentials under STEP 2005<br />
until 2025. However, many of the areas required for this purpose<br />
are not available for the planned forms of use. Since the existing<br />
legal framework of Vienna offers insufficient leeway for action<br />
to mobilise these land potentials, it may happen that land owners<br />
will not sell plots required for urban development or charge<br />
massively inflated prices. To change this unsatisfactory situation<br />
and improve the frame conditions for long-term urban development,<br />
Vienna will test and evolve new instruments to mobilise<br />
land reserves.<br />
Another important vehicle for realising land potentials lies in the<br />
optimised fine-tuning of public investments in technical, social<br />
and “green” (= green space) infrastructure and housing production.<br />
The City of Vienna will advance and refine the processes<br />
necessary towards this purpose. Moreover, agreements for urban<br />
development concluded with land owners and planning beneficiaries<br />
constitute an instrument that allows for fair cost sharing<br />
regarding investments in infrastructure, green and open spaces<br />
as well as energy generation and storage facilities.<br />
