Building a Neighbourhood from Scratch — A walking tour through five decades of Viennese urban development.
How It Works

Answer the multiple-choice quiz. All answers are in the station text. Your score is tracked across stations.
Complete photo tasks and upload to the shared album (GDPR consent). At Station 6, write your response to a decision dilemma.
The Framework
This walk follows the PRC epoch progression — from Myopia (short-term, siloed thinking) to Syntonia (integrated, circular systems). Each station is colour-coded to one of five diagnostic markers that trace the metamorphosis of urban development thinking.
The five spheres of PRC — Governance, Economics, Technology, Processes, and Culture — are the WICKED tool: a diagnostic lens for evaluating how built environments perform across all dimensions simultaneously.
