Presentation and panel discussion

The planning of quality outdoor space is a prerequisite for a sustainable high standard of living in multi-storey housing developments. How can this best be taken into consideration and achieved within the framework of the planning process?

The ‘wohnen im grünen’ research group invited experts from various institutions, from the municipal authorities as well as architects and landscape architects to work on approaches for the optimisation of the individual planning stages. The results of this process have now been published in manifesto form as the wiener manifest wohnen im grünen, which is to be presented in the course of the event and discussed with the responsible councillors.
