Video report about the car-free settlement Florisdorf in Vienna.
Content: For 16 years there has been a car-free settlement in the 21st district. Instead of parking spaces, communal areas dominate. The residents are still enthusiastic - but for some of them, the sloppiness has set in.

"Why do the same dreary apartment blocks have to be built everywhere?" asks F.A.Z. economics writer Nadine Oberhuber in Your post from 26.04.2017. She thinks "unambitious" is still the most harmless word of the viewers for the block architecture". As the main cause she quotes her F.A.Z. colleague and architecture critic Niklas Maak who observes a "radical economization of building", similar to the Bundesstiftung Baukultur.
Even the sustainable settlements cannot escape this pressure for returns and are becoming increasingly unimaginative, as I have unfortunately noticed in my observations over the last 20 years. "It's not pretty", as Gerhard Matzig puts it in his Contribution from 16.4. using the example of Munich's housing construction.
This is what the mayors of Mexico City, Paris, Athens and Madrid decided at the C40 meeting at a climate protection meeting of major international cities in Mexico City. They want to "do everything in their power to promote the use of electric and hybrid cars". In addition, more money is to be invested in the expansion of public transport and cycle paths.
Behind the meeting is the Group C40, short for Climate Leadership Group. In the beginning, there were 40 cities committed to climate protection - now there are more than 80. According to their own figures, they have a combined population of more than 600 million, i.e. almost one tenth of the world's population.
