15min-City online Maps
The map shows how close services are if one lives in different areas of the city: in red areas the time needed to access the closest services is on average higher than 15 minutes, while the blue are 15-minute areas. We consider the average time of accessibility to the closest 20 POIs.

Art Spin bike tour
The aim of the tour is to challenge traditional contexts of exhibiting art by producing new creative content in unconventional locations, while at the same time promoting urban cycling and sustainable communities. See also RAD performance in Vienna as an example.
Austrian Climate and Energy Fund
The Austrian Climate and Energy Fund (Klima- und Energiefonds) is a federal funding body established to drive Austria's transition to climate neutrality by 2040. Funded directly by the federal government, it has distributed over €4.1 billion since its founding in 2007, supporting around 500,000 projects across more than 60 programmes. Its work spans energy, mobility, urban development, research, and society, targeting businesses, municipalities, private individuals, and research institutions alike. A key principle of the fund is that every euro of public funding leverages roughly six times the amount in total investment — making it a highly efficient multiplier for climate action.
Baumbudget Graz / Tree Budget Graz
Baumbudget 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.
Bikebus
Bikebus is an organized bicycle group for children who cycle safely to school together with accompanying adults. Like a school bus, only by bicycle.
Campaign plan
Campaign plans structure when content is published and actions take place, and in the best case scenario, they are coordinated with political windows of opportunity (e.g., elections).
Card Sort
Card Sort is a simple yet powerful method for uncovering what matters most to your target audience. Participants rank a set of word or image cards by preference, quickly revealing key priorities and opening the door to deeper conversations about personal values and motivations.
Cargo Bike Sharing
In Vienna, cargo bikes can be borrowed for free from private individuals in almost every district.
Centralized participation plattform
On this platform, you will find the City of Vienna's participation projects. Here, you can exchange thoughts, gather ideas, and provide feedback on specific issues in dialogue with the city.
Citizen Dialog Kit
Citizen Dialog Kit is a participatory tool consisting of interactive, physical survey devices placed in public space that allow residents and passers-by to easily give feedback on-site. By removing barriers such as registration, time constraints, or digital skills, it enables cities to collect hyperlocal insights directly where issues occur and to engage a broader and more diverse group of people in decision-making processes.
Community Mapping
A map-based engagement platform offers the benefits of easier identification of problem areas, low-barrier participation, and high transparency.
crosswalk action
During the crosswalk campaign, crosswalks were temporarily painted in places where there were none, and people were able to use them.
Crowd Funding
Crowdfunding — and specifically civic crowdfunding — is an approach where communities, individuals, and organizations collectively finance local public projects through online platforms, often in combination with contributions from municipalities, foundations, or companies.
Data Analysis
Data analysis is the process of collecting, cleaning, transforming, and interpreting data to uncover patterns, trends, and meaningful insights. These insights are often visualized using tools like Tableau to support understanding and decision-making.
Data collection / counting
Data substantiates perceptions and can be used for external communication.
Data collection / Survey
A survey can help identify residents' needs or gauge their acceptance of measures that have been implemented.
