13 We have to find a way, that cities can grow without a growing of the consumption of resources

14 Permanent innovation is a key to success

36 Urban Development Plan 2025 (STEP 2025) Mission Statement for Urban Development

37 Target areas of urban development

38 Mobility Concept Motto: Together mobile fair Streetspace is shared to different users in fair way and sustainable mobility remains affordable to everybody healthy The share of active mobility rises, injuries to persons caused by traffic accidents decrease. compact Trips to and from work, dwelling, leisure, education, shopping etc are as short as possible ecological Environmental impacts of mobility decrease significally, the share of environment-friendly trips rises both in the city and the region. robust Mobility is reliable and crisisproof. Mobility is not bound to the possession of transport means utilisation instead of ownership efficient Resources are utilised efficiently by making use of innovative technologies and processes.

39 Integration of transport modes Commuter railway and metro

40 High acceptance of public transport Passenger numbers of Wiener Linien

41 Mobility Concept Fields of action GOVERNANCE: RESONSIBILITY AND RESOURCES PUBLIC SPACE: FAIR SHARING OF STREETSPACE EFFICIENTLY MOBILE BY MOBILITY MANAGEMENT

42 Change of paradigms Fair - together - versatile An attractive public space is a condition precedent to the utilisation by pedestrians, cyclists and passengers.

43 WienMobil Card A wide range of mobility in one hand

44 Sharing Economy as a transmission belt of social innovation in the city?

61 Summary Only a holistic approach can manage climate change in cities Urban life is at first a social field of action So, social innovation is crucial for effective resource preservation An active government is necessary to take a leading role, it can help and support, ask for participation and work as enabler for private initiatives. Humans first Technology second. We need an innovation-driven and not an only technology-driven Smart City C l a i m i n g o u r h u m a n i t y Smart City Wien
