“…The body of literature on these topics is also reflected in the recommendations for Vienna, which focus on functional, environmental, social and economic aspects of streets. The literature review reveals that encouraging projects have begun to be realized in recent years in many cities [20,40,46,54,81] in a way to cover both a street's movement function and also its ecological and place function [42]. They are no longer planned mainly for cars, but also as a place to serve people's need for social and optional activity [36].…”

“…Due to the complexity of streets within planning responsibilities and a high number of stakeholders (traffic planning and engineering, city planning, architecture, greening department, public transport and emergency services and many others in Vienna [72,81]), transdisciplinarity and a clear structure are required. Hereby the recommendations are developed to be used as a framework which defines the corner stones for general standards for high quality and sufficient space.…”

Sustainable Streetscapes: Design Approaches and Examples of Viennese Practice

Streets are ubiquitous and cater to various functions in a city. However, today most streets are unilaterally used and designed likewise. Car-centred spatial distribution is currently being questioned in the course of urban densification and in light of climate and ecological challenges. The presented work focuses on a multi-layered transformation of streetscapes towards a multi-purpose social and ecological space, which goes beyond a mere redistribution of space and functions. This paper draws from the results of an interdisciplinary research project headed by the Institute of Landscape Architecture (University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna). The Viennese situation is aligned with international trends. The research includes comparative analysis of streetscapes in Vienna and comparable cities, literature reviews, collaborative workshops and qualitative interviews. As a result, progressive layout specifications and quality aspects for future streets are proposed and presented in extracts. Furthermore, the goal of green space social equity is linked. The paper concludes by arguing for comprehensive consideration and redesign of streetscapes as one promising puzzle to counteract the evident challenges of climate change in urban settings. Its range reaches from small scale microclimatic improvements up to citywide provision of accessible, useable, ecologically sound and sustainable public space with new standards for streets as potential backbone.

“…Especially in the Global North, achieving sufficient floor space demands significant efforts, not only to address associated inequalities but also to reverse the trend of growing floor space per capita, necessitating a fundamental rethinking of housing (see also Durrant et al 2023 ): from individual and private spaces to prioritising collective, communal and public ones (“private sufficiency, public luxury”), from the compulsion to possess to the freedom to share (Ivanova and Büchs 2022 , 2023 ), from inflexible housing designs to those adaptable to various stages of life and new living arrangements (Fuhrhop 2020 ), and from the mandatory creation of parking lots to the obligation to create green spaces (Furchtlehner et al 2023 ). These considerations suggest that ‘living space’ is “a more malleable concept than is typically construed to be the case” (Cohen 2021 , 181).…”

When enough is enough: Introducing sufficiency corridors to put techno-economism in its place

Today's ecological crises are entwined with inequality dynamics, yet prevailing techno-economic approaches in climate research and policy fall short in addressing the ecological crisis as distributional crisis. Recognising the limitations of techno-economism, focused on markets (price adjustments) and technology (efficiency gains), this contribution introduces sufficiency corridors as a concept, research field, and policy approach. Sufficiency corridors represent the space between a floor of meeting needs and a ceiling of ungeneralisable excess, i.e. within the sufficiency corridor everyone has enough (to satisfy needs) while no one has too much (to endanger planetary boundaries and need satisfaction). Establishing such corridors entails a process over time that continuously narrows the gap between floors and ceilings, lifting the former and pushing down the latter by strengthening forms of consumption and production that contribute to need satisfaction while shrinking those that do not. The article discusses the profound implications of this approach for how societal reality is reproduced and/or changed, highlighting the need for decisions that eliminate options between and within sectors and in the realms of consumption and production. After addressing questions of decision-making and the potential to realise corridors, the contribution concludes that the growing scientific consensus to complement techno-economic approaches with sufficiency measures remains inadequate. Instead, the possibility of a transformation by design hinges on embedding techno-economism within and subordinating it to a sufficiency framework.
