Prague meets Vienna: How to make a city

Transforming an abandoned, dilapidated industrial area into a vibrant urban neighborhood. That is the story of Atzgersdorf in the south of Vienna. The site's development has been going on for more than 20 years and includes a wide range of projects, such as a former coffin factory turned into a cultural center and a supermarket with a school built on the roof. And Atzgersdorf hides many more interesting things. Its story may become an inspiration for similar brownfields in Prague, specifically for the Bubny-Zátory area or Nákladové nádraží Žižkov freight railway station. The architect behind the development Volkmar Pamer, urban planner for Vienna and the author of the book "Atzgersdorf - A Metamorphosis", will be in Prague to present the project. In his lecture, he will describe how the district was transformed while preserving its genius loci.

Hi! In September 2022, we launched the basic version of the new website. We performed user testing before the launch, but the real user testing is the one that is happening right now.

We'd love to hear how you're using the site, if you can think of ways to improve it, if there's anything missing, or if you've come across any errors. Thank you!
