VIENNA.Vienna is a city where 28% of its 1.7 million residents were born abroad and 44% of the population have a migration background, which means that they or at least one of their parents were born abroad or that they are foreign nationals.

Key features of the citys livability

VIENNA.Opennesssocial spacefemale realminternationalization of Vienna as a business locationknowledge based economy.Vienna Charter of Living Together.free of all forms of discrimination.A reduction of the number of teenage drop-outs.

VIENNA.The guiding principle is to strengthen Viennas "openness, which the URBACT Network defines as the capacity of a city to attract international populations and to enable them to contribute to the future success of the city.

VIENNA.Good relations with neighbors make daily life easier and safer above all for women. Baby sitting, watering flowers during a tenants holidays, leaving the flat keys with neighborswhen workmen are expected are just some forms of support that are often difficult to organize without helpful neighbors. Thus a housing block should offer space for informal contacts to encourage the formation of a neighborhood as social space.

VIENNA.Housing and the housing environment are traditionally viewed as a female realm. Yet since housing is usually planned by men, who have a different background of experience, womens issues are frequently given short shrift. For this reason, the Co-ordination Office for Planning and Construction Geared to the Requirements of Daily Life and the Specific Needs of Women has right from its inception championed the women-friendly planning of new housingComplexes.

VIENNA.In recent years, the City of Vienna, the Vienna Business Agency and the Vienna Economic Chamber started to increasingly recognize and support the performance achieved by migrant entrepreneurs. With their motivation, international ties and intercultural competence, entrepreneurs with a migration background form a significant potential for the further internationalization of Vienna as a business location.

VIENNA.Owing to current demands in the labor market, foreseeable demographic developments as well as the requirements of the increasingly knowledge based economy, attracting foreign labor and students becomes a key factor for Viennas competitiveness in the medium and long term.

Vienna accounts for 27 % of total added value generated inAustria, some 23 % of all workplaces and some 25 % of allemployees. This makes Vienna the economic and job center ofAustria. Vienna has the highest level of economic developmentof all Austrian regions and holds a leading position in Europeancomparison.

VIENNA.The participatory development and wide communication of the agreed Vienna Charter of Living Together that is to cover the key values of an open urban society and lay the foundation for living together well in Vienna constitutes an important acid test for a proactive communication agenda appropriate to diversity.

VIENNA.Viennas attractiveness for migrants and, hence, the success of Vienna as a destination significantly depends on a social climate that appreciates the contribution that migrants make to the citys progress, respects them and is free of all forms of discrimination.

VIENNA.A reduction of the number of teenage drop-outs and more opportunities for young people to complete higher-level education programmes can be achieved by an improved management of the interface between schools, labor market actors and out-of-school youth care.

To safeguard, stabilize and advance the quality of life in Vienna by ensuring equal opportunity for all inhabitants, taking into account the diverse living patterns, origins,social backgrounds and special needs of people with mobility handicaps and to enable them to live a meaningful life by assuring access to cultural life, to social, educational, healthcare and care for the aged facilities, to housing of sufficient size and quality, and to nature and recreational spaces, as well as to guarantee social security , personal safety and the protection of property, and to uphold social integration.

VIENNA.The Principles(2005)

SustainabilityThe principle of sustainability has the aim of making a development possible that meets the needs of todays generation without restricting the development opportunities of future generations . This means bearing in mind and integrating economic, ecological and social changes . These three dimensions need to be harmonized to support sustainability in urban development.

ParticipationThe participation of citizens and using the entire creative potential of the population as a supplement to representative democracy are the main goals of political participation. In the area of planning, participation means intense cooperation between the various actors and inhabitants of the city and serves as an instrument for the equalization of interests in the planning process. STEP 05 defines participation not only as a programmatic stance of the city, but also states the need to provide the necessary framework. This includes making the internal and external resources of the citys administrative departments available, and backing decentralization as well as actively taking measures to keep a culture of political debate and participation alive.

Gender MainstreamingGender mainstreaming in urban planning means integrating the perspectives of women and men and of different life situations in general as well as the concurrent divergent desires from the start in all decision-making processes and project planning. STEP 05 defines gender mainstreaming as an important cross- sectoral task. Gender mainstreaming means the mandatory orientation of all STEP 05 actions on the equal treatment of women and men from the beginning of work on the measures.

DiversityVienna commits itself to a policy of peaceful and equal cohabitation, and to the diversity of different cultures, religions and lifestyles. Immigration is normal for European metropolises and thus also for Vienna and is not an exceptional situation. An open and forward-looking policy in this area is crucial. STEP 05 also defines the concept of diversity as a cross- sectoral task, because Vienna just like other European capitals is confronted today with the challenge of responding to social changes and of finding innovative and lasting responses to migration and integration policy.
