Austria grew by 21 900 people in 2026

Basically only in Vienna which grew by 13 747 people

The fastest growing regions outside of Vienna are smaller cities surrounding Vienna like eisenstadt, Wiener neustadt and St PΓΆlten

And Graz and area around it

King county metro only operates two streetcar lines, the link light rail is operated by sound transit

What is the reason that LIRR is up so much and NJ transit is down so much?

there are only 2 countries in the European Union that don't have a tram/light rail network: Lithuania and Slovenia

Come on guys, Vilnius/Kaunas and Ljubljana could definitely support a few lines

Copenhagen overtook Vienna and is now the most liveable city in the world according to the economist intelligence unit

Tbf its mostly Vienna just the Viennese transport company gets 77% of that ridership, while only serving half of the population, and this doesnt even include the s bahn which also gets most of its ridership in Vienna

the rent areas you look at in Vienna here are btw, not all districts, it excludes districts 21,22 and 23, which is where most of the new supply is being built, but it shows that you cant just sprawl the new housing, you need it to be built where the actual demand is (in the center)

the rent per squaremeter in Vienna (first graph) rose much faster and is currently much higher than in austrias second largest city: Graz (second graph)

Both cities grew in the past ten years, but especially in the last few years Graz was more successful at building new supply

Dont get me wrong the bezirks guys there are great, its mostly a problem in the city planning and gardening department

Yes its better, but even there so mich more greenery could be possible, once you seen streets in Amsterdam, every street in Vienna looks like it has too little greenery

I am not sure, but theoretically they should get the same proportional money from the klimaticket organization I think

The austrian population grew by 40 thousand people last year

This year growth will probably be at least 10k lower, because syrian migration dropped hard after the war ended and migration restrictions were put up

Komplett absurd, dass Wiener Wohnen Klimaanlagen einfach pauschal verbietet
