Today we visited this year’s project site in Vienna’s 15th district – the 1.2 km-long Westbahnhof area.
This ÖBB-owned site stretches along Felberstraße, just behind Vienna’s Westbahnhof, and is currently the focus of public debate around its future use.
Over the next three weeks, our students will work in teams of 7–8 to develop new ideas and bold strategies for this unique urban space.
Let’s see what the next weeks will bring! 💡

Key questions include:
☑️ What challenges does the climate crisis pose for democratic decision-making?
☑️ How can urban planning and architecture foster civic participation?
☑️ What role does the legal system play in safeguarding democratic values?
☑️ And how can the arts open up new spaces for democratic expression and engagement?

Join the conversation with speakers Doris Österreicher (Universität Stuttgart), Michaela Krömer (Attorney-at-law), Valerie Huber (actress, activist, author) and Thomas Thaler (BOKU University), moderated by DER STANDARD.
