📸Street festival on Bethlen Gábor Street #CommunityMap #Budapest #UrbanResearch

On 15 June, we invited passers-by to our tent on Bethlen Gábor Street in Budapest. 🗺️The event centred on creating a community map, complemented by questionnaires, to learn more about residents’ memories of the neighbourhood and their views on changes in the building stock and local identity.

Join us in our webinar on experimental approaches to urban research on June 17 & 18 via Zoom! We will cover a variety of topics, including arts-based and artistic research, new perspectives on architecture and urban morphology, cartography and mapping, and shared perspectives on urban time-spaces.

This is where we live! But how do we live? Join us for a collaborative postcard-making workshop, where you can share your unique perspective on changes in your neighbourhood and the emotions connected to them. 📍Stadtraum Mitte 15, Rustensteg 1, 1150 Wien 📆20.06.2026 16:00-19:00 CET

In the context of decarbonisation, what renovation options are available for the historic building stock? We invite you to the webinar: ZxB – Cooperative Approaches to the Renovation of Apartment Buildings 🎤 Petra Hendrich 📅 11 June @17:00 (CET) 🔗 bit.ly/4w0Jinq

Im Rahmen der Langen Nacht der Forschung 2026 konnten wir Einblicke in unsere Forschung geben und mit vielen Besucher:innen ihr 15-Minuten Grätzl entdecken. Dabei zeigte sich: Für viele ist die 15-Minuten Stadt noch keine gelebte Realität. Mehr Infos: www.oeaw.ac.at/isr/institut... #LNF2026

Day 24, South China Morning Post: The renovation of Buda Castle has raised questions about heritage preservation, sparking major debate around authenticity and political symbolism. This chart tracks the frequency of related media coverage and highlights the key themes over time. #30DayChartChallenge

Day 23, Seasons: Tourist flows are famously seasonal, but here’s the twist: Airbnb listings shift in space over the year, too. In Prague, listings concentrate more in the historic city centre toward year’s end compared to the annual average. In Vienna, it’s the exact opposite. #30DayChartChallenge

Alle wichtigen Alltagsorte vor Ort - wie kann Wien zu einer 15-Minuten Stadt werden? Das ISR geht dieser Frage bei der Langen Nacht der Forschung der @oeaw.bsky.social nach. 📆 24.4.2026 | 17:00 - 23:00 📍 Bibliothek, Collegium, 2. Stock Weitere Infos: langenachtderforschung.at/station/531

Wie kann Wien zu einer 15-Minuten Stadt werden? - #LNF26 Lange Nacht der Forschung

Die „15-Minuten Stadt“ ist eines der einflussreichsten Konzepte der Stadtplanung, wenn es um die Bewältigung der großen, urbanen Probleme des 21. Jahrhunderts geht. Nicht alle aber sind davon überzeug...

Day 21, Historical: Since 1999, we’ve tracked how often Budapest’s monument sites were legally reclassified; when new ones were added or removed. The data shows a big boom followed by stabilisation. #30DayChartChallenge #Budapest

„Wir bauen am Bedarf vorbei“, sagt #ÖAW-Forscher Robert Musil. In Wien entstehen zu viele teure Eigentumswohnungen, während leistbarer Wohnraum fehlt. Gründe sind u.a. hohe Baukosten, Zinsen, Spekulation & wachsender Druck am Mietmarkt. www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

Stadtforscher: "Teure Eigentumswohnungen sind nicht gerade das, was wir brauchen"

In Wien werde am Bedarf vorbeigebaut, der soziale Wohnbau sei unter Druck, sagt Robert Musil. Das liegt an schwindenden Gründerzeitzinshäusern genauso wie an Geopolitik

Day 20, Global Trend: Urban segregation isn’t just rising or falling, it’s changing where it comes from. In cities like Budapest, it’s increasingly driven by the divide between the historic core and the rest, while in Vienna, differences within areas are becoming more important. #30DayChartChallenge

Day 19, Evolution: How does happiness evolve after moving from Hungary to Austria? Just like in evolution, adaptation matters. Over time, migrants report greater happiness, mirroring positive shifts in other subjective well-being domains, such as life satisfaction and optimism. #30DayChartChallenge

Day 17, Remake: Last year, we looked at housing prices in Budapest; this year, we have shifted our focus to Vienna, zooming in on medium-sized apartments built before 1960 across districts. The 1st district (Innere Stadt) clearly stands out from the rest. #30DayChartChallenge #Vienna

Day 15, Correlation: In Neubau, the negative correlation between income level and inequality in the neighbourhood has become stronger from 2011 to 2020. There is a tendency for higher status areas to become more homogeneous, while social mix is higher in lower status areas. #30DayChartChallenge

Day 14, Trade: Quick snapshot from Vienna (10th & 15th districts): we checked some apartments for sale in Gründerzeit architecture buildings. Even in this small, non-representative sample, there’s a clear pattern: 4th-floor units tend to come with slightly higher price tags. #30DayChartChallenge

Day 13, Ecosystem: Exploring the housing ecosystem in Lower Austria: how do land prices relate to the share of single family houses in second-hand ownership at the municipal level? #30DayChartChallenge

Day 11, Physical: Residential streets are meant for people, but they’re still designed for cars. This is particularly problematic around schools and kindergartens. In the Ma(r)king Neighborhoods project, we’re asking the question: how do children experience these streets? #30DayChartChallenge

How can cities better address housing precarity and homelessness? Together with researchers, policymakers, and civil society practitioners, Judith Schnelzer will join the panel discussion at CEU on housing precarity and homelessness in contemporary European cities. events.ceu.edu/2026-04-15/b...

Day 10, Pop Culture: Budapest streets named after famous writers, poets, artists, and actors — but do they come with a price tag? Turns out, not really. A twist: streets named after the Jókai–Laborfalvi couple are actually cheaper, even though they’re scattered across the city. #30DayChartChallenge

Day 9, Wealth: The Viennese district of Neubau shows high income variation within housing market segments. This shows that apart from income and housing types, other aspects of wealth and localised housing characteristics influence residential sorting. #30DayChartChallenge #Sorting
