Polarized Vienna
Democracy and Public Space in the Urban Periphery
The urban periphery of Vienna is becoming increasingly dense and its population increasingly diverse. These rapid changes contribute to new conflicts and political polarization. Inclusive spaces can help democratic and diverse societies to deal with these challenge. However, no comprehensive model of centrality has emerged in the periphery until today. Therefore, this project investigates today’s structure of public space and centrality in the district Donaustadt in the context of theories on social cohesion and democracy. Moreover, it takes a look at policies and planning processes to understand how space is currently being developed. Based on the results, potential strategies and interventions for the consolidation of public life are explored. The focus for these proposals lies on the axis Kagran-Stadlau as this area is under-represented in research as well as planning documents. Through this approach, the project aims at contributing to the challenge of adapting the outskirts of European cities to the changing requirements of their societies, a topic with relevance for many other locations outside Vienna.

The province of South-Holland is located in a delta, where the Netherlands have been changing the landscape for centuries to keep out the water and create the productive, highly urbanised and well connected landscape it is now. Due to climate change, the water system brings about an increasing pressure in both the rivers as well as the sea. In addition, economic and demographic growth pressure the agricultural production system and urban system. Instead of reclaiming land from sea and rivers, this report aims to find a a collaboration between the three sectors. It will enable the people of South-Holland to work together with the water and create a more balanced landscape.
To create this balanced landscape, this project researches the possibility of protecting the province of South-Holland from climate change while producing sufficient food and keeping the region livable. Three systems (water, agriculture and urbanisation) are analysed on both their individual system as well as the synergies between them. Using these three systems, a vision and strategy are formed for South-Holland in 2100, where the landscape is transformed into a water based productive landscape in which the synergies between the three elements are key. This landscape ensures the realisation of three goals: 1. Productivity by creating dense agricultural hubs, 2. Safety from the water for the whole province, and 3. Livability for the people by creating healthy and desirable densifying urban systems. A toolkit of six intervention typologies is created with a focus on innovation in water, agriculture and/ or urbanisation while keeping a liveable environment. By implementing the interventions on the synergies between systems they create the balanced landscape. This landscape results in the need for a healthier and local diet for the inhabitants and the creation of new green and blue infrastructure will increase liveability. Additionally the food economy of the region will be more efficient and resilient. ...
