What should be created?
The densification of cities requires an in-depth examination of the relationship between living and recreational spaces as well as street space. By temporarily freeing Erlachstrasse from parking spaces and car traffic, the neighbourhood population is given the opportunity to rediscover the space, to appropriate it and to design it according to their own needs. The prelude to the reconquest of street space is the Netto Null Festival. It is based on the natural annual cycle and takes place at the beginning of spring under the blossoming cherry trees of Erlachstrasse. It thus marks the beginning of the season that invites you to spend time outdoors. Associations from the neighbourhood as well as initiatives from the pilot neighbourhood are invited to actively shape the outdoor space, help shape the festival and present themselves to the neighbourhood. Working and celebrating together creates new encounters and networks within the neighbourhood. At the same time, ideas and initiatives can emerge that enrich the design of Erlachstrasse throughout the pilot phase. The festival and the subsequent pilot phase enable the city's residents to experience what it means when the street space is available to the public instead of cars – and how this affects housing, commerce and social life in the district. At the end of the pilot phase, the experiences gained will be exchanged and documented at a community event and both potentials and resistance will be recorded. This pilot phase expands the city's empirical knowledge in dealing with the abolition of inner-city parking spaces and the temporary traffic calming of neighborhood streets. It provides valuable conclusions about the development of coexistence in the neighbourhood and the needs of city residents. It also serves to identify possible measures for the use, greening and design of street spaces. The pilot phase thus creates an important basis for future development projects that promote life-friendly and community-oriented urban spaces.
