Since October 2020, the “Floating Gardens”, an approximately 1500 m² park on the Danube Canal designed by Carla Lo, are open to the public. Our tour starts there, directly above the former Imperial Canal Lock.
At the Ringturm we see a charging station for the e-buses of the city lines 2A and 3A. Will all Wiener Linien buses soon switch to electric operation? What does the future of mobility in Vienna look like?
Close by is the Schottenring district cooling center, which is cooled by water from the Danube Canal. At Börseplatz we see magnificent plane trees that provide shade. Can these trees face climate change?
In Herrengasse, on Graben and on Stephansplatz we find large sealed areas: What can you do there against the great heat in the summer? Can the tour guides and their guests expect a cool breeze on future cultural walks through Vienna’s city center?
