Key Benefits
Problem
The city of Vienna lacks public green areas and amenities in some the inner districts. Parklets are temporary interventions that allow people to create small green areas or sitting possibilities.
Aim
CityMaking!Wien is an online toolbox that facilitates the conception, design and request of permissions to build parklets in Vienna. With this tool we want to make it as simple as possible for the citizens to participate in the development of their neighborhoods.
The tools should inform and encourage citizens to participate in the development of their own neighborhoods.
Spatial Level
Approach
At the moment CityMaking!Wien offers four different tools:
1- Basic information about parklets and what should be considered for the conception and construction of a parklet in Vienna, regarding the security, the design and other aspects.
2- A parklet potential map that shows where would be possible to build a parklet, by showing in red the different restrictions that apply for the use of parking places. The map simplifies the understanding of the regulations and offers a new understanding about public spaces.
3- A design tool that facilitates the creation of the required drawings for the submission. The tool is very simple to use, yet it has considered many of the requirements regarding dimensions and security. People can also download the drawings and edit them according to their own visions.
4- An online submission tool that facilitates the contact with the authorities and the submission of the required documents to obtain a permit for the use of parking places.
