there are only 2 countries in the European Union that don't have a tram/light rail network: Lithuania and Slovenia Come on guys, Vilnius/Kaunas and Ljubljana could definitely support a few lines

Copenhagen overtook Vienna and is now the most liveable city in the world according to the economist intelligence unit

The VOR which is the transport association for eastern austria (population 4 million) transported 1,124 billion people in 2024 and increase of 122 million passengers over the previous year

the rent per squaremeter in Vienna (first graph) rose much faster and is currently much higher than in austrias second largest city: Graz (second graph) Both cities grew in the past ten years, but especially in the last few years Graz was more successful at building new supply

Tram extension in Vienna: Cost: 29 million € per kilometer

@ All TU wien students that follow me: Download the TUW My Trips app and track your mobility movements for June, so we get a picture of how the people on the Uni move around

The austrian population grew by 40 thousand people last year This year growth will probably be at least 10k lower, because syrian migration dropped hard after the war ended and migration restrictions were put up

Komplett absurd, dass Wiener Wohnen Klimaanlagen einfach pauschal verbietet

New data on Public transit funding in Vienna: The Public transit company gets roughly a billion euros from the city and 200 million from Central government, but this is both for investment and operation Fare box revenue is roughly 63% (485M € in subsidy), good considering cheap ticket prices

Here it is on a map, the new bikelane in red, this stops having to go across the gürtel on the yellow existing lanes so you can keep going on the eastern side with no unnecessary crossings

Lets gooooo A gap in the gürtel bike route in Vienna at Westbahnhof will be finally closed in the next month Car lanes will stay the same tho, because that road operated with a lane less because of a construction project (which is now close to done) anyways

Super artikel im Profil, die pendlerförderungen sind komplett absurd und gehören abgeschafft

Heute FAK

In 2024 Vienna permitted 16 257 housing units Of those 7 112 were as a result of expansion or alterations on or in existing buildings And 9 145 were permitted in new buildings

This is the future yimbys want!

The same street on the left is maybe 1 meter narrower than on the right, but on the right its grassy tram tracks plus separated bike lanes and on the left its mixed traffic tram and painted bike lanes on the street HOW????????

They really are doing everything to make this new tramline go the perfect racing line

Difference on the ground

It shows how much the city is still behind in street design and what is possible and what every side street should look like in Vienna

The difference between greenery on a privately owned street (the one with tons of trees) and city owned streets (the gray ones) is honestly massive

Do you guys reckon there will be a something built here at some point?

beautiful Medellín

With April data arriving we are on track for a growth of around 10-15k thousand people in 2025 in Vienna, which is almost half the growth of the past two years This is almost certainly because since the end of the war in syria the number of syrians coming to Vienna has dropped significantly

A beautiful new almost finished apartment building in Vienna next to a tram line and S-Bahn station Next to it a huge new Office for a pharma company is currently under construction

The greens have been the only party that consistently target the EU-Vote in Vienna and all of Austria so its not entirely surprising But how dominant it is crazy, in some districts the Greens got 60% of the EU vote and the arguably were pivotal in flipping the 5th district from the spö to greens

Last Sunday wasnt just a City-wide election, but also 23 district elections happened, and not only austrian citizens, but also EU-Citizens are eligble to vote there And it seems like the Greens absolutely dominated that EU-Vote getting 36,6% of it way ahead of the spö at 28,2%

There is Election analysis based on metro lines happening in Vienna Here metro line U6 clearly shows that the green and fpö voters live in completely different parts of the city, greens in urban centre and fpö on the outskirts

Okay we might actually have a change in district governments in Vienna the 5th district is extremely close and might switch from the social democrats to the greens The only other one that isnt decided is the 6th one which might also switch from spö to greens, but less likely

the results of todays Viennese election shifts in the right wing camp and the social democrats loose a bit and the liberals gain a bit, but otherwise not much changes the district results will be interesting because they have a lot of power over street redesigns

In Vienna, the number of car-free households is increasing. This trend is evident in all large/medium-sized cities in the EU. The car is losing massive importance in urban areas and, at least there, will follow the path of mechanical typewriters: something for those nostalgic for old technology.

Bricks are becoming more popular in ground floor new builds in Vienna

if anyone wonders why: Graz has built quite a lot of housing units (green bars) compared to population growth (blue bars) in the past decade building housing works!!!

its absolutely crazy that housing costs in Vienna are twice as high as they are in the second largest city in austria in Graz

The myth of a cheap Vienna is gone now! Rents in Vienna increased by 9% in the past year and are now the second highest in the Country at over 20€ per m^2 We really need to cut building regulations and allow the market to catch up to demand

Was @maxmiller.bsky.social hier im Kleinen über den Karlsplatz schreibt, ist gerade in der Weltlage so eine wichtige Botschaft: Politik wirkt. Wenn sich ein Staat eines Problems annimmt, Personal, Hirnschmalz und Ressourcen investiert, kann er es lösen. www.profil.at/morgenpost/w...

Workers are some of the most right wing voters in Vienna They voted 45% & 53% for right wing parties in the last two municipal elections (compared to 10% & 30% they achieved in total) Tbf only a third of workers are eligible to vote and turnout from them is low, still concerning Election on 27.4.

I dont know how, but I feel like you could design this a bit better

there are four groups of people in Vienna

The two census districts with the highest and lowest percentage of people who were born in Vienna are both in the same district and just 3km aways from each other

Padova is nice, but I dont understand why housing there seems quite expensive

This map shows every tram (red lines) and metro (blue and violet lines) extension currently under construction or in planning, and every street rebuilt to make it more bike and pedestrian friendly (yellow lines) in Vienna

10 million euros to upgrade a metro station in Vienna gets you: One new elevator New footbridge One direction of the platform is widened Bigger roof

Some of the rural areas around Vienna have a public transit share that some american cities can only dream of (they have insanely high car ownership rates as well tbf)

At least the national rail operator in austria has fully recovered passenger numbers from covid in all sectors: Buses (211 million), short distance trains (254 million) and long distance (46 million)
