Learnings & Success factors
• The project company enables the steering of the district development to act more agile.
• The project company has a more integrative perspective on the planning process of the district
than the city administration and bundles the development of the whole district and single plots
in one organisation.
• There are only two owners of the ground, which are national and city subsidies, which makes the
development process less complex.
• The private owners of project company ensure private capital flows in the district’s
development.
• The Aspern klimafit criteria in the land selling contracts set strict requirements for developers on
plot level.
• Political ambitions and the “Smart City Wien Framework Strategy” paved the way for the
relevance of energy related topics and for setting respective requirements.
• If certain grounds are sold to “Baugruppen”, active citizens are automatically involved in the
development process
