Great success for the Austrian Smart Cities exhibition<br />
at the Expo Real 2017 in Munich<br />
The „5 th Austrian Urban Region Day“ in Lienz intensely discussed<br />
the benefits of Urban-Rural-Partnerships<br />
(Smart) Functional Urban Regions<br />
Smart Cities don't act at their best if they don't cooperate<br />
with their surrounding municipalities. Especially<br />
the challenges of supply demand a regional solution.<br />
It is important to force, foster and fund such actions.<br />
In Austria this—again—is ensured by a funding program<br />
of the Climate and Energy Fund, that already led<br />
to 99 „Climate and Energy model regions“ and—quite<br />
recently—the „Climate Adaption Model Regions“.<br />
The most urgent challenges of our time will better be<br />
solved together – no matter if we talk about a metropolitan<br />
area like Vienna or a smaller town that functions as<br />
a regional center for its surroundings: The „Stadtregion+/The<br />
City Region+“ in and around Vienna or the<br />
„Grazer Zentralraum/The Central Region of Graz“ are<br />
well established and work on concrete city-regional<br />
solutions concentrating on mobility, sustainable spatial<br />
and settlement development and the safeguarding<br />
of recreational areas in growing agglomerations. Also<br />
smaller urban regions like the „Zukunftsraum Lienzer<br />
Talboden/The Futurespace Valley of Lienz“ with its 15<br />
communities engage ambitiously in common projects<br />
like a communal fiber-optic network for the region, its<br />
enterprises and inhabitants. They presented this and<br />
other successful projects at the „5 th Austrian Urban<br />
Region Day“ 2 in Lienz, an annual event where innovative<br />
cooperation projects of and within urban areas<br />
are presented and discussed, to force further and new<br />
cooperations for a better future in our prospering urban<br />
hot spots throughout Austria.<br />
More than ever, Innovation, Cooperation and<br />
Branding are important fields of activity for cities and<br />
urban regions - to fulfill the increasing load of public<br />
tasks and to present an attractive and singular location<br />
profile.<br />
