Description of work
COST 332: Transport and Land Use Policies
Description of work, Identity card of Austrian case study, Part 1: National, Part 2: Regional
The considerable interdependence between transport and land-use is widely acknowledged in Austria. Nevertheless no efficient institutional co-ordination between transport and land-use policies has been established. This study compares the objectives of Austrian transport and land-use policies, considering their realisation with particular respect to economic aspects. The main aim is to point out effects caused by the identified lack of co-ordination for the different sectors of Austria's regional economy. Thus the study will provide decision makers an information basis identifying transport and land-use related causing factors for economic development. As well potential economic benefits of legal provision of a transport and land-use policy co-ordinating institution will be assessed.
The work was sudvided into two different spatial study areas. In part 1 an analysis on national (Austrian) level was performed, while part 2 deals with regional level (Vienna and its hinterland).
