Land consumption – Everyone needs a piece of earth! – Podcast 107

Land is a finite resource – and yet in Austria it is being built on at an alarming rate every single day.

Over 11 hectares of land disappear daily under concrete and asphalt , while at the same time buildings stand empty, town centers are becoming depopulated, and new areas are being designated for construction. This has an impact on the development of our food sovereignty, agriculture, the character of our towns and villages, and our quality of life!

In this podcast episode, Dr. Andreas Steinwidder with Caroline Rodlauer – architect, project developer, and expert in building culture – about soil conservation, activating vacant properties, and sustainable construction . Ms. DIin sheds light on the causes of high land consumption in Austria and discusses solutions that could help preserve our landscape and create livable spaces.

  • How can we make good use of existing buildings instead of constantly sealing off new areas?
  • What political measures are needed to promote sustainable urban development?
  • And what role does each individual play in this process?

Listen to the report and find out why it's high time we treated our valuable resource, soil, differently!
