Books by Gerhard Hatz
The reader is invited to join 12 excursions, each dedicated to specific topics, and personally discover aspects of Vienna by following each path.
The walks illustrate the historical and physical development of the old city center, they lead to zones of gentle urban renewal and public housing, and they point out Vienna`s multiethnic past as well as its culturally diverse present. By following the suggested pathways, shopping may become a learning experience and the reader gets the chance to explore the endless cycle of performances and festivals promoting the image of Vienna.
The tours also take the reader to Vienna's new urban centers with their typical office and apartment blocks, numerous parks and recreation areas, and the suburbs in the greater Vienna region. "Understanding Vienna - Pathways into the City" focuses on issues of urban development. The book will help the reader form a picture of this important city today.
The goal of the guidebook is to show current developments in Vienna, the problems it has to face, and the political responses to these problems. It will also show successful efforts and strategies of city planners which could be regarded as positive examples for other cities.
