Urban development

Public buildings

For the solarCity is an excellently planned urban development, with a highly attractive center and facilities such as schools, day nursery and day care which are so intelligently positioned as to create further public centers. What has been planned here is a kind of network of different functions, including a loosely designed landscape that provides added value not only for the new residents but also for the existing population of Pichling.

Residential buildings

The solarCity enjoys an international reputation as an exemplary urban development project, and the non-profit housing developers of Upper Austria have proven that social housing can satisfy highest-quality criteria as well as customers’ requirements. Within only a few years it has been possible to bring a new urban district to life, and today the twelve non-profit housing developers involved in the project provide modern housing for some 3.000 residents in the solarCity.
