Viennese scientists call for deep measures against the climate crisis: Tempo 30 in the entire urban area, fewer cars and a rapid output of gas heaters. The loftunnel is counterproductive and even strengthens car traffic, as demonstrating studies of the past 25 years.
Viennese scientists organize the future city administration through journalists, who must tackle climate protection measures. For example, it would be very effective to limit the speed of traffic to 30 kilometers per hour and to broaden sidewalks at the expense of the streets. It would also be useful to have half a million gases in Vienna for heating sources with renewable energy sources, they said on Wednesday at a press conference of “Discourse – The Science Network”.
Viennese traffic causes 35 percent of greenhouse gases
Traffic causes 35 percent and therefore most greenhouse gas emissions in Vienna, Ulrich Leth of the research area of traffic planning and traffic technology at the Technical University of Vienna said: “This makes it the most important security child of the future city ordinance”.
Car traffic also claims two -thirds of the traffic areas, although only 25 percent of the paths are covered with it. “These areas are missing for safe cycle paths, wider sidewalks, lounges and shade, so that Vienna remains pleasant in habitable, even in the coming years due to climate change,” he said.
Fewer parking spaces and more expensive Parkpickerl demanded
The city has set itself the goal of reducing the share of car paths to 15 percent. There are various measures for this. The expert proposed a mandatory upper limit for parking spaces in residential buildings instead of the lower limit. “At the same time, that would make life cheaper,” said Leth. The zones of the park pickers must be lowered, prices have risen.
“An extensive maximum speed of 30 kilometers per hour with the exception of highways and highways would en masse the road safety and quality of life of people in Vienna and at the same time promote foot and bicycle traffic,” says the expert. Public transport should experience “consistent pre -trial measures compared to cars”, so that the publications should only stop at the stops, and not at intersections and files.
Loftunnel would pump the traffic in the city
Graben To dig the loftunnel, would be counterproductive, says Leth: “All studies of the past 25 years show that this would cause more car traffic and pump it into the urban area”. This would, as it were, destroy the homemade and mobility goals of the city of Vienna.
Renovation obligation for residential buildings required
The buildings also cause many greenhouse gas emissions, namely 30 percent in Vienna, Conanze said brutally from the Renewable Energies of the University of Applied Sciences (TH) Technikum Vienna: “90 percent of those emissions are due to the existing approximately 500,000 gas race”
By 2040, 31,600 gases would have to disappear annually and be replaced by heating and hot water systems with renewable energy, so that the “Veense Climate Time schedule” is observed, according to the expert: “To achieve an increase in the thermal renovation rate, the renovation obligation for non-residential buildings in the EU could be extended”.
