REHABILITATION, MODERNISATION AND SAFETY

Pioneering approaches for the future

Every year, Vienna invests significant amounts of money in the rehabilitation and modernisation of municipal housing estates. Innovative approaches in such areas as energy, barrier-free solutions and the improvement of quality of life while preserving the historical context are continually introduced and implemented in the course of rehabilitation projects. At the same time, many new, contemporary housing projects are constructed, e.g. in the framework of the Smart City project “Smarter Together”, which is supported by the European Union and aims to enhance the quality of life of Vienna’s population.

The City of Vienna is likewise dedicated to the objective of safety and security. The self-initiated process of pre-refurbishment safety inspections not only ensures greater safety for residents but also serves as a valuable preventive measure for Wiener Wohnen and law enforcement.
