Mapping the Zero Carbon City Region - Vienna Metropolitan Area

Climate change is severely impacting cities and their surrounding areas, highlighting the need for new visions of the future in multiple facets of our lives. Building on its previous work in metropolitan planning and design, MetroLab has developed a visionary mapping approach to address the climate crisis on the metropolitan scale. It aims to identify real needs for action and to show new pathways with a particular focus on the Vienna metropolitan area.

The creative mapping approach reveals multilayered spatial phenomena, functional linkages, and spatial relationships between the city and its surroundings, visually communicating key trends and illustrating how climate goals can be achieved through integrated, cross-border development.
