Viennese students demand: Living has to be affordable for everyone!
In a significant step to improve the living situation for students: inside in Vienna, the Greens Vienna and the Gras Vienna (Greens and Alternative Students Vienna) present a comprehensive 5-point requirement package. This was announced during a press conference, which will take place on Monday, February 17, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. in the green club in the town hall. The increasing housing costs in the capital have made many students unaffordable to afford accommodation. Judith Pühringer, party leader of the Greens Vienna, as well as Georg Prack, spokesman for the Green Vienna, and Ida Belaga from Gras Vienna will present the details of the package, which includes concrete measures to reduce rents, as APA-OTS reports .
Environment and urban development
Another important discussion is conducted on the ecological design of urban areas, especially in relation to Vienna. In a recently published anthology entitled "Ecology of the City" by Gottfried Liedl, the necessary connection between urban development and natural biotopes is discussed. The book illuminates how the historical community building after the Second World War was increasingly shaped by green areas. This is illustrated by Liedl, who represents the idea that an effective urban development concept has to create diversified and sustainable habitats. Green design is crucial for the quality of life in cities and is intended to help make the "Red Vienna" a more sustainable space, such as reports the press .
The anthology calls for the green areas of other metropolises, such as Seoul and Singapore, to look at to learn from their experiences. It is emphasized that green-blue-designed rooms not only beautify the cityscape, but also make a significant contribution to the mental and physical health of the residents. These findings are of crucial importance for the future urbanization and should clarify the need that Vienna also has to invest more in natural habitats.
