Dr. Reinhard Seiß is a city planner and professional journalist in Vienna. In his recommended book "Who builds Vienna?"
he describes the context, background and motives of the urban development in Vienna since 1989. Two chapters of the projects Wienerberg City (p. 95-101) and Monte Laa (p. 103-107) are dedicated. now appeared in the press on 05.02.2011 again an article on Monte Laa. With the title "Porr Porr, and you alone" describes Seiß, always thinking of proper background information, with critical words, the development of this former "wasteland". He begins his Article this:...
"No U-Bahn No Fast Car No tram But roaring up to 200,000 cars every day through the basement 'Monte Laa'. Why habit is to dwell where no one should be a Viennese genre picture. .

Real estate experts confirmed years ago that there will not be able to develop this site. But the zoning for the high-rise was limited to 2009. Therefore, a new project had to be submitted.

citizenship ade
In a town meeting from 07.06.2010, the citizens pacified. Only the District Chairwoman Hermione Mospointner by the SPÖ spoke of "a reduction of the southernmost tower at a height of 40m" . The fact that this was a reduction of the proposed towers from 110m to about 65m, the other two towers 110m and remained almost 100m but received the same planning was not mentioned.
