The Aspern Urban Lakeside (officially also Aspern Urban Lakeside, project name: Aspern - Vienna's Urban Lakeside) is a part of town under construction in the 22nd district of Vienna Danube city and one of the largest urban development projects in Europe of the 2010s. Over a period of around 20 years a new district should arise, in which over 20,000 people are supposed to work and to live. The first of three development stages focuses until around 2017 to the south of the part of the city.
Location
Aspern Urban Lakeside with lake, 2012
The planned seaside town is located about 7 kilometers east of the city center, on the other bank of the Danube, already on the verge of March field (gravel and stone plain in Lower Austria bordering Vienna).
The area is bounded as follows:
In the north of the Marchegger Eastern Railway, forming since 1870 the (currently operated hourly) connection between Vienna and Bratislava and long has been used by the legendary Orient Express. The here layed out traffic station Vienna Aspern Nord offers since October 2013 U-Bahn (U2) underground traffic to the center of Vienna and from 2017 S-Bahn ÖBB (line S80) suburban traffic to Vienna's main train station as well as regional trains.
To the east beyond the Josefine Hawelka pathway or the Cassinonestraße adjoin settlements of the since 1938 belonging to Vienna outskirts village of Essling.
In the south adjoins to the site an extensive factory premises of General Motors Austria, which lies at the Groß-Enzersdorfer Road (bus number 26A), connecting Aspern and Essling.
In the West adjoins beyond the Johann Kutschera alley the belonging to Aspern suburban settlement to the area.

Outskirts settlement, neighboring communities, Essling, Aspern
History
The area northeast of the historic village of Aspern in March field was named after a man-made lake in the center of the development area.
On the former airfield Aspern, Vienna's airport during the interwar period, by the year 2028 around 240 hectares should be developed. This corresponds to the area of 7th and 8th district of Vienna. Planned are around 10,500 homes for 20,000 people and business premises for 15,000 office jobs as well as 5,000 jobs in industry, science, research and education.
For the development and utilization responsible is the Wien 3420 Aspern Development AG, a real estate development company which in December 2004 as a subsidiary company of the Vienna Business Agency, a fund of the City of Vienna (73.6%) and the (Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft) Federal Property Association (26.4%) was established. The planning is done in consultation with the relevant municipal departments of the city administration and the Wiener Linien, the public transport company of the city of Vienna.

Urban Planning
The urban concept of the maritime city is focused on the mixing of functions - there should be no purely residential use or commercial use. In this way, a dormitory town should be avoided and during the day non-stop revival obtained. The master plan for the seaside town was created by Swedish architect John Tovatt and adopted unanimously by the Vienna City Council on 25 May 2007. Essential contents are the functional arrangement of uses and the spatial configuration of both small and large urban gestures to an urban master plan.
Public space
The geographic center of the seaside town will form a 5-acre lake, which already largely exists, in a total of 9 hectare park. The lake is fed from groundwater. The public space - thus streets, squares and parks - occupies 50 percent of the total area of urban development.
In order to make the public space for the people who will live and work in the seaside town attractive, the Danish open space planners Gehl Architects by the Wien 3420 AG and the Municipal Department 19 (architecture) with the creation of a planning manual for public space (a "score of the public space") were commissioned. The planning manual is based on the idea that public life is a precious commodity that needs to focus it. Therefore Gehl Architects particularly important axes have worked out in the seaside town. The Circular road as a major route that has received the name Sun alley, the Red chord (shopping street, culture), the Blue string (sea park and promenade) and the Green string (green spaces, recreational areas). By 2015, three parks are built, the central Marine park, the Yella-Hertzka park and Hannah Arendt park, along with 8 hectares (May 26 2014 ground-breaking ceremony).
Development phases
The construction of the seaside town of Aspern is to take place until 2028 in three stages:
Stage 1 (2009-2017): The development company Wien 3420 Aspern Development AG builds the green spaces and the technical infrastructure (roads, sewage, etc.) and thus provides the impetus for the development of the maritime city. In the first large-scale expansion in the southwestern part of the maritime city arises a mixed quarter with approximately 2,600 residential units, offices, business and service companies as well as research and development facilities. The large volume is to ensure local supply and the desired mix of uses from the start. In October 2013, the metro stations Aspern North at the northern edge of the area and Seaside town as terminus of line U2 in the south have been opened. In this stage also falls the establishment of a R & D Park (research and development). As first impulse project there emerges an Innovation Quarter (Technology Centre), for which a realization competition was launched. With the IQ aspern by 2012 a first settlement core was created.
Stage 2 (2017-2022): The Station Aspern North and the connection through a powerful city street to the A 23 motorway and the branch S 1 are completed. Other residential and mixed districts and the train station and office quarters arise.
Stage 3 (from 2022): To the train station, the shopping street and the subway route adjacent areas are further compressed, the mix of uses is further improved.

On February 15, 2014 was held on the construction site of the seaside town of Aspern the art action Kranensee - a ballet of cranes. Some of the then 42 tower swivel cranes and a concrete pump have been fitted with differently colored lights, which to specially composed orchestral music shone, 15 cranes were occupied by crane operators, who approriate for the music turned the booms.
I had an opportunity to explore the construction site for the future city centre and captured a few interesting perspectives.

In Basoko I again stayed in the Procure. It gave me the chance to attend the joyful Mass in Basokos outsized church, which bears a curious resemblance to Notre Dame in Paris. Over dinner I had the very good fortune to speak with the three charming and dedicated priests working there. They were led by Father Marc whose tales of village life bore a resemblance to Don Camillo. We talked over how African theology differs from Liberation theology, the rise of the evangelist churches in Congo, squabbles with the local authorities and the challenges of keeping a football pitch green.
Plan has been running a project since 2005 to help children who are living on railway tracks. Research revealed that 700 children live on railway stations, including runaway kids. Children sleep on the roofs of the railway tracks or in hide outs alongside the railway tracks. Once they grow older, they disappear into trafficking and prostitution.
October 31, 2019- Clayton, NY- Governor Andrew Cuomo announces the state is providing $60 million to advance 38 projects in St. Lawrence and Jefferson counties under the Lake Ontario Resiliency and Economic Development Initiative. Governor Cuomo launched REDI in May to increase the resilience of shoreline communities and bolster economic development in the region. Today's announcement marks a major milestone in the REDI effort. Identified by the communities and evaluated by state agency experts, the projects address both immediate and long-term resiliency needs, enhance economic development, protect critical infrastructure, incorporate green, natural, or nature-based features, and will help sustainably rebuild and enhance communities along the Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River shorelines.

Libraries are agents for development, giving communities access to information in order to support education, health, economic security and development. Taking, as its starting point, recent research which looks at user perceptions of the benefits of public access to technology in libraries, and the opportunities public libraries offer for policymakers to meet development goals, this workshop will explore a number of questions around the theme of public access in the community. What policies are needed to ensure that public access is facilitated? What partnerships need to be made with the private sector to help bring technology into the community?

Entrance hall of the TMW
The Vienna Technical Museum (short TMW) has exhibits and models from the history of technology with particular reference to the Austrian share in technological development. The bright patios, roofed-over by glass domes, furthermore are considered as a special feature of the museum in itself. It is located in Vienna Penzing at Mariahilferstraße in Gustav Jäger Park.

To mark the 60th anniversary of the Accession to the throne of Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1908, it was decided to establish a Technical Museum of Industry and Trade in Vienna. The initiative essentially came from Wilhelm Exner, who envisioned the idea of such a museum since the Vienna World Exhibition in the year 1873. In the founding committee were also the industrialists Arthur Krupp and Johann Kremenezky who supported the project financially, further sponsors have included Bernhard Wetzler and the Rothschild Bank. In the same year the National Technical Museum in Prague was opened.
After the location issue was clarified, the museum should be built in the 14th district of Vienna near the imperial residence in Schönbrunn on the "Spitzacker grounds", provided free of charge by the City of Vienna, the first preliminary studies were elaborated of Emil von Förster. After his sudden death in 1909, an "ideas competition" among in Vienna operating architects was tendered, in which were involved, inter alia, Otto Wagner, Adolf Loos, Rudolf Tropsch and Max Ferstel. The participants had only two months to create their designs, nevertheless 24 projects were submitted. Into the final selection made it the plans by Max Hegele, Rudolf Krausz and Hans Schneider, whose draft the studies of Förster came close and who eventually won the bid upon intervention of the heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand. Criticism from the Viennese Artist Associations provoked most of all the rejection of Otto Wagner's project.
The museum was one of the first representative reinforced concrete building in Austria (already 1904 Otto Wagner this material in the construction of the Vienna Postal Savings Bank had used). According to the contemporary tastes, the facade was designed historicizing. The structure of the building, the bright exhibition halls and the for that time very modern electrification with a total of 46.4 kilometers of installed electric lines, not least for the demonstration apparatus and machines met the requirements of a functional museum building. The original plan of Schneider provided a subsequent extension by two side wings.
On 20 June 1909, the foundation stone was laid by the emperor. The building was completed in 1913, the for 1914 planned opening but was delayed by the First World War until May 6, 1918. In March 1919, already the 100,000th visitor could be welcomed.
The museum until 1922 was operated by an association, then for economic reasons nationalized as many former sponsors at the end of the monarchy and the turmoil of the post-war period dropped away. From 1930 to 1949 Viktor Schützenhofer was director of the museum. In the era of National Socialism also the Technical Museum came into possession of objects and materials which had been roobed from the Jews. Based on the Art Restitution Act of 1998 was finally begun with Provenance Research and the State Commission for Provenance Research so far handed over 17 dossiers. In four cases, the restitution has already been carried out, including the estate of the 1942 murdered technology historian Hugo Theodor Horwitz, which was passed to his son.
From 1992 to 1999 the building was generally refurbished. At the same time, inter alia, the glass cupolas of the over roofed patios were raised by one floor and installed surrounding galleries, by which the usable area of the museum was expanded by 3,200 m². Overall, the museum after the renovation now around 28,500 m² has at its disposal. Half submerged in front of the main entrance a glass porch as entrance area was added. In it now are dressing rooms for groups of visitors, school groups, etc., cash boxes and a museum shop. As on 1 January 2000, the museum in accordance with the Federal Museums Act of 1998 was discharged in the full legal capacity; since then Gabriele Zuna-Kratky is the director of the museum.
Exhibits
Typewriter by Peter Mitterhofer (1864)
The focus of the exhibitions lies on the transfer of technical concepts. Therefore, there is a large number of functional models that give visitors the opportunity to understand technical processes, and in accordance with the technical progress are renewed again and again.
The museum is provided with numerous, sometimes rather large historical demonstration models, such as in the field of railways, shipbuilding, aviation and industry. Outstanding there are the functional steam engines. Furthermore, one of the largest collections of historic musical instruments in Austria is housed in the Museum of Technology.
During the renovation of the building and the associated restructuring of the collection, the historic rail vehicles were largely transferred to the Railway Museum Strasshof in Lower Austria, where they were looked after by the first Austrian Tram and Railway Club. More rail vehicles were left to other clubs, collections or commercial loan-takers (Leihnehmern), including, for example, the Railway Museum Schwechat (Lower Austria) of the Association of Railway Enthusiasts. End of 2008, some of the most valuable railway vehicles again were on display in the main hall of the museum after some extensive restoration, other exhibits were farmed out as loans to regional railway museums in the provinces.
The Department for road vehicles remained in the museum. It shows milestones in Austrian automotive history of the brands Austro-Daimler, Gräf & Stift, Steyr Puch, among others. The oldest showpieces include the Benz of Eugene Zardetti (1893), the first in Austria operated gasoline automobile, and one of the oldest vehicles preserved in its original state at all, the second Marcus car (1888/89). To building this collection, the then curator Hans Seper has made outstanding contributions in the period after the Second World War. From the second Marcus car under the supervision of the museum a replica was made, which was presented to the public in the presence of Federal President Heinz Fischer on 17 May 2006. With it test runs and exits are to be performed before an audience without having to strain the valuable original.
Another part with collection pieces from the first half of the 19th century comes from the in 1807 founded kk Factory products Cabinet, whose aim it was to collect industrial products from the early industrialization period of the monarchy.
The unneeded Locomotive Hall in Marchegg station in 2012 by the Technical Museum was long-term rented, renovated and equipped with tracks of different gauge. The building is used as additional depot hall for railway locomotives and wagons. Thus, a number of until now at different locations and partially outdoor deposited objects of the railway museum's collection is united in a hall and in the history of the railroad museum's collection it is for the first time achieved that all rail vehicles have found a place in an exhibition hall or at least in a depot hall.
