Visit the organic food market Lange Gasse

Wee

ken

d P

rogr

am

Visit the organic food and delicacy-market in the Lange Gasse, 1080 Vienna, and hear the story of a citizen-driven

pilot project for traffic calming on a heavily used street. The market was initiated in 2012 by the „Asphaltpirates“

and takes place now regularly on Saturdays. While tasting a little snack from the market and enjoying the

surrounding ensemble of Biedermeier-buildings, you can talk to the project-initiators and organic farmers, who

offer their regional products there. Very close to the market you will also visit two urban community gardens

(Tigergarten, Pfeilgarten), where you will meet some members of the founding community.

This visit will be guided by Christian Schrefel, 17&4 Consulting Ltd., and Daniel Cranach from the Asphaltpirates .

The Asphaltpirates were founded in 2010 on basis of a local agenda 21 - citizens group from the 8th district of

Vienna (Josefstadt). Their aim is to reclaim public spaces in the dense urban area and give it back to humans.

Meeting point: in front of Wiener Planungswerkstatt, Friedrich-Schmidt-Platz 9, 1080 Vienna Wee
