ONLINE: Challenges in Austrian Spatial Planning

Description

The Austrian federal states adopted the Austrian Soil Strategy in 2024, in which they commit to a substantial reduction in future land consumption and sealing. In a controversial debate, they agreed on four main approaches: protection of open and green spaces, prevention of urban sprawl, efficient inner development, and intensification of awareness-raising and public relations. Arthur Kanonier, who professionally accompanied the soil strategy, will outline the main challenges and solutions for the economical use of land and soil. The lectures are aimed not only at our students and lecturers but also at the general public. With conviction and commitment, the UFL thus fulfills its social mission of transparent knowledge transfer. Online speaker: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Arthur Kanonier
Arthur Kanonier is a trained spatial planner and has been a university professor at TU Wien since 2025. He heads the research area of soil policy and soil management at the Institute of Spatial Planning (Faculty of Architecture and Spatial Planning) and since March 2025, he has been interim head of the research area of law at TU Wien. He is chairman of the Society for Spatial Planning and Regional Development (ÖGR).
