New local collaborations to boost change!

Lack of funding or stuck in slow processes? Maybe a local collaboration can boost your vision to the next level! That happened to the Galileigasse in Vienna. Thanks to a collaboration between the district Alsergund, the Technical University Vienna and the LA21 the schoolstreet was completely transformed. A team of city planning and architecture students, their teachers and one carpenter planned and built the tactical urbanism elements within one semester. The district covered the cost for the material. The project cost a fracture of what it would have cost if a team of professional carpenters had done it.

Tree Budget Graz

Tree budget Graz is an innovative financing model introduced by the City of Graz to systematically fund the planting and maintenance of urban trees. It draws from three sources: compensation fees collected under the city's tree protection ordinance (which requires replanting or financial compensation when trees are removed), voluntary tree sponsorships open to individuals and companies, and project-specific budget approvals by the city council. Together, these streams create a dedicated financial pool that ensures greening efforts are not dependent on a single, uncertain budget line.
