Vienna has ranked as the city with the highest quality of living for the past 9 years according to an annual survey. In 2014, Vienna adopted the Smart City Wien Framework Strategy to develop the city using radical resource protection, high quality of life, and innovation. The strategy aims to provide the best quality of life for inhabitants while minimizing resource consumption through comprehensive innovation in areas like energy, cost reduction, technology, and policy. Key targets include reducing per capita greenhouse gas emissions by at least 35% by 2030 and 80% by 2050 compared to 1990 levels, sourcing over 20% of energy from renewables by 2030 and 50% by 2050, and shifting traffic to eco-friendly modes like walking and cycling.

6. In June 2014 the Framework Strategy was finally
adopted by the City Council.
Smart City Wien describes the development of a city
based on radical protection of resources, holistic
perspectives, a high, socially fair quality of life and a
productive use of innovations/new technology.
A total of 38 specific objectives were defined in the Smart
City Vienna Framework Strategy. The timeframe of the
objectives is until 2050, but many objectives incorporate
realization steps until 2025 or 2030.
The best quality of life for all inhabitants of Vienna, while minimizing
the consumption of resources.
This will be realized through comprehensive innovation.

Long-term goals for Vienna

10. Monitoring:
• Steering Instrument
• Dialogue Instrument

11. Targets:
Leading-objective RESSOURCES:
Per-capita greenhouse gas
emissions in Vienna drop by at
least 35% by 2030 and by 80% by
2050 (compared to 1990).

12. Targets:
Example objective energy use:
In 2030, over 20%, and in 2050,
50% of Vienna’s Gross Energy
consumption will originate from
renewable sources.

13. Targets:
Mobility:
Strengthening of CO2-free modes
(walking and cycling),
maintenance of high share of
public transport and decrease of
motorised individual traffic (MIT)
in the city to 20% by 2025, to 15%
by 2030, and to markedly less
than 15% by 2050.

14. Targets:
Mobility:
The shift of traffic towards eco-
friendly transport modes (walking,
cycling, public transport, Car
Sharing) has been met with great
success over certain time periods:
between 2010 and 2013, the share of
car traffic thus decreased from 31%
to 27%.
Carsharing:
spares 44 Millions of kilmeters by car and
reduces 7.000 tons CO2 per year

16. Targets:
Building:
Cost-optimized zero-energy
building standards for all new
structures, additions and
refurbishments from
2018/2020 and further
development of heat supply
systems towards even better
climate protection levels.

17. Strategy Result – very positive:
2/3 objectives full / high degree achieved
Vienna remains to 50% green area

19. Challenges:
- Technical/Physical Limitation:
- Energy Storage
- Surface Characteristics / PV
- Lack of related Jurisprudence
- Financing Cost still very high
Achievements:
- Strong Sensitiveness to Renewables
- Change of Political Paradigm
- Incredible Technical Innovation Since 2009
- PV, Geothermy, Vents ..etc.
- Reduction of Costs:
- PV up to 65%
