Connected, intelligent, innovative, creative, inclusive and sustainable – these are the buzzwords of a smart future. Smarter cities are about making citizens’ life easier, faster, smoother and greener.
On this colourful walk in the fast-changing, northern Leopoldstadt district, we’ll explore the racial & social mix in this inner-city district, a new-school coffeehouse with an ethnic twist, an analogue museum, how Vienna rents are controlled, visit green space, look at waste collection, the innovative public transport system, a project to turn empty shops into tourist rooms, funky new university design, a legal graffiti project, and also how tax is used to stop street markets getting too fancy.
Meet: U2 Krieau (exit: Krieau), ending Karmelitermarkt
