#2 GROWTH
In the last decades the built-up area within the SuperWien Metropole has grown enormously. Despite all political intentions and regional planning regulations, increasing wealth is still accompanied by the consumption of land. SuperWien Metropole is a vision for the the six million future inhabitants of the Vienna-Bratislava-Wr.Neustadt metropolitan region. It will incorporate the current growth of more than 50 000 inhabitants per year. One main goal is to reconfigure and strengthen the polycentric structure of the Metropole by following the principle of compact growth and concentrated densification.

Göttliche Lage. Eine Stadt erfindet sich neu, GER 2014, 104 min. German OV with English subtitles Ulrike Franke und Michael Loeken
February 2008, Dortmund-Hörde, Germany. Up until 2001, this town was at the heart of the global steel production. The area of the former steelworks – now resembling a deserted lunar surface – is supposed to be transformed into a lake with Marina and a Piazza. High-end housing meets office buildings.
Poster (c) Franken LoekeTrailer:
A dream of living and working by the lake. But what about the people who used to work in the steelworks and who will not be able to afford to be living this dream? Over five years pass: planners and local residents, individuals with vision, and sceptics become the winners and losers in so-called “social progress”. A film about the transformation of the industrial society into a leisure society.
