Smarter Together Wien - Gemeinsam g’scheiter in Simmering.

The Vienna Smarter Together urban renewal area is located between Simmeringer Hauptstraße and Ostbahn. Around 21,000 Viennese live here and will benefit from “smart” solutions that will be implemented in the areas of redevelopment, energy and mobility, among others.

The housing stock in the project area includes Gründerzeit buildings and municipal buildings of Red Vienna, including social and green space infrastructure, as well as numerous post-war buildings up to the newest residential neighborhoods on former commercial and industrial sites. Thus, the project area is ideally suited as a test area for the implementation of innovative solutions.

In the implementation phase between 2016 and 2021, well over 40 individual projects and innovative solutions were realized. More than 30 project partners from administration, research, and industry as well as SMEs participated in the project.
