See the stark contrast between some parts of inner cities which are flourishing while others are not living up to their potential? This is also a reality in the city of Krems in Lower Austria. But instead of getting stuck in problem analyses only, our team wanted to find solutions in a transdisciplinary way. This whitepaper is packed with our story, what we did, how we did it and where the directions changed. You will find the voices of different sections may sound quite different - that is intentional, as it is a collaborative effort of five people with the fantastic support of our supervisor Ilja Steffelbauer. We want to show the richness of our project in each of our writing styles as well. Additionally, we’ll balance academic and professional content with the ease of magazines and easily digestible snippets. So hopefully, there is something for everyone in this whitepaper, as it compiles our story over the past six months from the eyes of all of us. Happy reading!
