MY URBAN PARK OBERLAA IS A URBAN DEVELOPMENT PROJECT THAT AIMS TO VISION A FUTURE EXPANSION OF THE VIENNESE DISTRICT OF FAVORITEN, IN THE BORROW OF OBERLAA.
THE SITE OF THE PROJECT IS A FORMER PARKING SPOT THAT GOT TOTALLY SEALED AND ASPHALTED OVER TIME. AROUND THE SITE AREA ARE LOCATED MAINLY APARTMENT BUILDINGS AND SOME INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS. BUT IN THE RADIUS OF ALMOST ONE MILE THERE IS NOT ONE SINGLE FOOD SHOP, DRUGSTORE, HAIRDRESSER OR ANY SORT OF SMALL RETAIL STORE. SO IT WAS CLEAR WHAT WAS MISSING. THE GOAL WAS TO CREATE A 15-MINUTE-CITY THAT FOCUSES ON SUSTAINABILITY, PEDESTRIAN WALKABILITY AND HUMAN CONTACT WITH NATURE.
THE PROJECT AIMS TO UNSEAL THIS PARKING AREA TO CREATE A NEW SPOT IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH NATURE FOR ITS FUTURE RESIDENTS, WORKERS AND GUESTS. SINCE THE SITE IS LOCATED NEXT TO THE THERMAL BATHS OF VIENNA AND NEXT TO A HUGE PARK, IT´S KIND OF CONCEIVED TO BECOME SOME SORT OF HIDEAWAY FROM THE FAST CITY LIFE. THE PROJECT TRIES ALSO TO ENVISION HOW CITIES CAN EXPAND WITHOUT CUTTING THE CONTACT TO NATURE TOO MUCH.
