An interdisciplinary team at the Faculty for Architecture and Planning at the TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology) jointly worked on this publication. Funded by the Daimler and Benz Foundation, the aim was to question common narratives of spatial and societal impacts of connected and automated vehicles. Thus, the team consists of architects, spatial planners, sociologists and transport system planners.
Mathias Mitteregger is in charge of the research project AVENUE21 at the Vienna
University of Technology, which is funded by the Daimler and Benz Foundation and
investigates the opportunities and risks of automated vehicles for urban development in
Europe. In research and planning projects, he deals with the question of how new
technologies change perception, design and ultimately life in cities. He completed his
dissertation in architectural theory at the TU Vienna.
