Insights from the 2026 SUM Forums organised by Stadt-Umland-Management Vienna/Lower Austria


At this year’s forums in Wiener Neudorf and Deutsch-Wagram, our IVE colleagues Sandra Wegener, Reinhard Hössinger and Vera Kretschmer gave a presentation on affordable and active mobility.

The events brought together regional stakeholders to discuss cross-border strategies for Vienna and Lower Austria. The focus was on active mobility, seamless walking and cycling networks, and the implementation of 15-minute-city principles in metropolitan regions.12

The SUM Forums are organised annually by Stadt-Umland-Management Vienna/Lower Austria to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience among stakeholders from different fields.13

Many thanks to the organisers for bringing experts together to jointly shape the future of regional and sustainable transport!
