Axis of the urban development
Main urban development axis between the two areas of UNESCO World Culture
Heritage
URBAN Graz development projects launched a new quarter development in the west.
The street „Annenstraße“ connects the old town with the western part of Graz.
The main central station is located directly on this axis. The expansion of the public
transport hub creates the biggest traffic interchange in southern Austria.
Urban district development Waagner-Biro Straße and Graz – Reininghaus are very
important land reserves and show the 1. Smart City Graz projects.
