Synopsis
This project (in German "Autofreie Mustersiedlung") is Vienna's first car free development. As one central pre-condition, residents oblige themselves to not own a car.
Instead of 250 parking-spaces (one per housing unit, as designated in legislation), only 20 had to be built, which serve as Car Sharing parking-spaces and to park bicycles.
The aim was to create a car free housing project with some 250 flats/units. Good public transport services and car sharing facilities in the settlement guarantee mobility to the tenants, which oblige themselves to not own a car.
Financial savings by not building a parking garage were used to create common facilities (such as bicycle repair shop, sauna, common rooms, public laundry, solar water heating, green space, etc.) to increase residents' quality of life.
Target groups: residents
Fields: calming / living streets - urban planning
