22 New ways, new approaches. Environmental compensating measures (eg. for infrastructure projects) should be implemented in ecologically worthwhile areas Good practice example: Ökokonto in Germany Schwechat

23 District Mödling / Lower Austria Traffic Capacities on the road (for motorized individual traffic) are limited. Building land reserves for more than inhabitants and working places (based on determinations of the communal land use plans) Therefore: Development in municipalities, in development areas has to be harmonized with the regional traffic capacities.
