On a sunny afternoon this spring, Eva Kail stood outside the gleaming subway station in Aspern Seestadt, a sprawling planned community in northeast Vienna that she essentially manifested from an idea into a real place.
- Role: setting
- In the article: The whole article is a tour of this unfinished planned community in northeast Vienna, built on a former airfield. Kail points out women-named streets, wide sidewalks, short walking distances, a car-light street layout and a central lake, while residents describe daily life there. The text also gives about 12,000 current residents and 14,000 expected.
- Why it matters: It is the subject of the article: the ‘living model’ of three decades of gender mainstreaming. Set elsewhere the argument would lose its proof of concept built from scratch on an old airfield.
