A Street is not a Street

The "Ringstraße" is the main connecting element of the newly designed Smart City Seestadt Aspern in Vienna. It is four kilometres long and shaped according to the master plan of the Swedish Tovatt Architects & Planners. The first part in the South quarter of the Seestadt is designed by 3:0 Landschaftsarchitektur. The bent main lane serves not only for car traffic, but also as an attractive place for pedestrians and cyclists. Along the way, there are so-called Hot Spots featuring various qualities to discover.
