MIO is a versatile neighborhood center combining living and working. A facilitated Urban Upgrade process provides a myriad of possibilities for co-determination and creates synergies between the tradespeople that are going to move into the center. The Urban Upgrade process idea is to combine the utilization of ground floor zones, Urban Manufacturing, and tenant participation in a new neighborhood center located in Vienna’s Sonnwendviertel. Urban Upgrade constitutes a special service for start-ups, small businesses, one-person businesses, SME…, interested in the commercial spaces in the Quartiershaus MIO neighborhood center. A special kind of business community is being developed in the emerging and burgeoning Sonnwendviertel-Ost neighborhood in Vienna. Entirely in line with the motto “Small fish, big nets”, a vibrant business community and a varied offer are to be created here for the Sonnwendviertel neighborhood and for the entire municipal district of Favoriten. The experiences gathered in the course of this pioneering project are to be turned into a transferable process that can also be used for follow-up projects, i.e. an “Urban Upgrade” suitable for various requirements and locations! The project is subsidized by Wirtschaftsagentur Wien , the Vienna Business Agency. |
