2. The process of drawing<br />

up <strong>the</strong> master plan for aspern<br />

Seestadt started between 2005<br />

and 2007. After a combined<br />

competition and tender process,<br />

Tov<strong>at</strong>t Architects & Planners<br />

and N+ Objektmanagement were<br />

commissioned to develop <strong>the</strong><br />

master plan for <strong>the</strong> area, while<br />

Gehl Architects focused on <strong>the</strong><br />

guidelines for <strong>the</strong> development<br />

of public spaces. The master plan<br />

design is based on <strong>the</strong> principle<br />

of <strong>the</strong> 15-minute-city, with a<br />

central open area with an artificial<br />

lake and a vast park as <strong>the</strong><br />

structuring elements.<br />
