Comment le site peut-il contribuer à la ville adaptable ? (en anglais)

The currently sleeping site with its high landscape quality, high connectivity and an overaged masterplan requires to be kissed awake by a new urban development plan to satisfy the city´s increasing demand of housing. The mutual interaction of adaptability will enrich the transformation in time phases: whereas the densely overgrown landscape will adapt to the growth of the city, new living concepts will adapt to the landscape and its historical context to create a new address of neighbourhood. New typologies, social diversity, a strategy of phasing in time and the site´s high connectivity (5min to central train station, 25min to Wien) strengthen the site´s potential in living quality. The double role of the railway -connector and barrier- has to be fully exploited to integrate and adapt the site to its surrounding neighbourhoods.
