Future Cities
Planning the cities
of tomorrow
A smart city comes to life:
the lakeside city of Aspern
is an interdisciplinary
research project with
AIT participation.

Simulation models startng
with the green meadow
AIT therefore designs simulation
models that open the door to
an analysis of the questions posed
and create solutions – always
doing so in a highly complex, interdisciplinary
context and with
the clear goal of conflict resolution.
Measuring and interpreting
behavior
The findings are relevant to the
developers and providers of future
metropolitan centers to be able to
provide effective solutions as well
as to urban decision-makers in order
to be able to invest in the most
promising measures for achieving
social and urban planning objectives.
City planners are forced to
create structures that are as resilient
as possible and will not be
completely obsolete 10 years down
the road. Therefore, AIT can generate
different variants at the push
of a button which significantly
support the relevant decision-making
processes.
Complexity science hub
The Complexity Science Hub in
Vienna is a showcase project for
the interplay between research
institutes and innovative companies
for smart cities in which concepts
for urban development are
being developed by the Technical
University of Vienna and AIT
on an interdisciplinary basis. For
only multi-modal, holistic and
cross-sectoral solutions will make
it possible for cities to remain viable
and “smart” in the future. In
order to accelerate a comprehensive
implementation of smart city
concepts, scientific methods are
being developed that allow the
handling of complex questions in
this interdisciplinary context.
