Inclusive Urbanism:
Redesigning Keplerplatz, Vienna

This solo project addresses the urban density of Vienna’s 10th district by connecting a problematic neighborhood with a modern, green quarter. The design focuses on transforming car-heavy streets into pedestrian-friendly zones while significantly improving the quality of public space.

A central challenge was the redesign of Keplerplatz. Instead of a complete clearing, my concept prioritized the preservation of all existing mature trees, integrating them into a new, gender-sensitive spatial layout. By rearranging the surrounding infrastructure and removing car traffic, the design creates a safer, more inclusive environment without losing the ecological value of the established greenery.

This work was recognized as one of the ten best projects at a university vernissage. Its emphasis on sustainable urban cooling and social equity mirrors the direction of recent real-world renovations in the Favoriten district.
