The city of Vienna, like a nuber of other cities has a growing problem with vacant ground floors and deactivated desolate street spaces. The vacancy in Vienna becomes noticeable only at the level of ground floor zone in the historical core areas of the urban fabric. This development does not proceed as dramatic as those completely empty buildings and blocks in some other post-industrial European cities. However the increasing rate of vacant ground floor areas at the street level shows that this development is not as harmless as it seems to be.
