New Living in Favoriten

Automobilism in Europe has passed its zenith. However, beyond the individual lighthouse projects and car-free utopias, there is a lack of clarity as to what the city reference car should look like in the future. The classic traffic structures are still considered the planning status quo, but hybrid typologies are increasingly part of the cultural and architectural debate.

The ‘Alles Landgut’ roundabout in Vienna's district of Favoriten, a landmark of the ‘car-friendly city’, is also suitable as a symbol for future digital, spatial, and functional networking. According to UN forecasts, Vienna is the fastest-growing European urban region, and this part of the city in particular promises great potential for expansion - urban developments will be much faster here. This roundabout is already at an important traffic junction and could bring new social networks to the area as a social, green hub.
