This tour is about Gender Planning in Mariahilf, with Eva Kail, from MA 18 City-planning Department (now semi-retired) & Eugene Quinn.

Vienna is recognised internationally as a pioneer city for its approach to including women’s needs into planning and budget decisions. Mariahilf was selected as a district to experiment with many progressive ideas, which have now been adopted across the city. Please join us for a look into the past, present and future of Vienna, and how the city seeks more social justice through better public space, mobility, nature, comfort and a more friendly, social, supportive place to live. We look forward to hearing your perspectives. And this is a lovely place to walk through. We originally conceived this tour as a tribute to Eva Kail, who is retiring, and you will hear so much about her on the walk.
