 HISTORY OF VIENNA
Vienna was once the heart of the Habsburg Empire. For a time, the
possessions of the Habsburgs, who ruled for more than 600 years All
soon came to an end more than 80 years ago.
Vienna is first mentioned in the first century under its Roman-Celtic
name Vindobona. It was established by the Romans to be a frontier
fortress to maintain vigil over the Danube which served as the northern
border of the Roman Empire.
Today, only some ancient stones from the Roman fort survive from those
dark centuries to provide some archaeological record of Vienna’s
beginnings.

 AREA AND POPULATION
The city has a total area of 414.65
AREA square kilometers (160.1 sq mi), making
it the largest city in Austria by area

POPULATION 19 lakhs
 PHYSICAL FEATURES
Vienna lies in the northeastern corner of Austria,
between the foothills of the Alps and the Carpathians,
where the Danube (German: Donau), Europe’s second
longest river, has cut its course through the mountains.
The city is situated alongside the river, most of it on the
right bank. The Vienna basin was a nodal point of ancient
trade and military routes. Strategically, Vienna commands
the surrounding regions, which include sections of Austria’s
border with Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Hungary.
 WHY IT IS A SMART CITY
WIRELESS SCHOOL
In summer 2019, work began on the expansion and optimisation of the city-wide school wifi
network. Wifi coverage is already standard in new schools and school extensions across the
city. A major effort is now under way to roll out seamless wifi coverage to all the city’s
vocational colleges, pre-vocational schools and middle schools by 2022, with 64 sites
already fully equipped by the end of 2020. “Excellent education requires excellent
infrastructure. 51,000 school pupils will soon be reaping the benefits of the city’s high-
speed school wifi network. With this investment we are fostering digital literacy for every
single schoolchild,” says Ulli Sima, Executive City Councillor for Innovation.
The wifi infrastructure is being installed by Wien Energie, the City of Vienna’s energy and
telecom provider, with the fibre-optic cable network for Vienna’s schools already in place.
When complete, the network will be equipped with 29,000 switch ports providing wireless
high-speed internet access.
 WHY IT IS A SMART CITY
GREEN FUEL FROM RESIDUAL WASTE
The Waste2Value project upcycles residual waste into eco-friendly, CO2-neutral fuels. A
pilot plant in Vienna’s Simmering district employs a thermochemical gasification process to
convert waste materials into so-called syngas. In a second process step, the syngas can
be upcycled into a wide range of liquid fuels – including green diesel and kerosene, green
natural gas and green hydrogen – which can subsequently be used in the transport
sector and/or the energy industry. These fuels are 100% renewable if the feedstock is
from renewable sources. Waste2Value is piloting the use of sewage sludge, residues from
the pulp and paper industry and damaged timber. However, another option would be to
add non-renewable fossil-based waste such as non-recyclable plastics, which would allow
this kind of waste material to be recycled.
 WHY IT IS A SMART CITY
COOL ROOMS FOR PHYSICAL REST
Cooling zones are cool indoor spaces where Viennese can escape the
summer heat in the city and in their homes. Cooling zones have
temperatures between 20 and 24 degrees Celsius. People find this
temperature range comfortable, the body is not exposed to any stress
(heat stress).
The Cooling Zone project will be implemented for the first time in
summer 2023. The evaluation of the pilot phase will serve to define
further possible areas and to consider guest feedback in new Cooling
Zones – as far as possible. The goal for the following summers is to
create a close-meshed network, especially in districts with a pronounced
heat island effect.

 HISTORY
By the early 19th century, the British Empire trade was heavily dependent upo
importation of tea, silk, and porcelain from China. While the British exported to
luxury items like clocks, watches, there remained an overwhelming imbalance in
China developed a strong demand for silver, which was a difficult commodity fo
British to come by in large quantities. The counterbalance of trade came with e
to China of opium grown in India. By the late 19th century China grew most of
opium it used. A Chinese commissioner Lin Zexu voiced to Queen Victoria the Qing
opposition to the opium trade. The First Opium War which ensued lasted from 18
1842. Britain occupied the island of Hong Kong on 25 January 1841 and used it
military staging point. China was defeated and was forced to cede Hong Kong i
Treaty of Nanking signed on 29 August 1842. The island became a Crown Colony
British Empire.

the south side of the island. Hong Kong and its 260 nearby
islands and peninsulas are located at the mouth of the
Pearl River Delta.
