There must be space for everything: for living, working and commercial enterprises, but also for the environment and traffic. The focus is not only on what is important today, but also on what might be needed in the future.

The overriding goal is to maintain and further develop Innsbruck as a livable city.

What is ÖROKO 2.0?

ÖROKO is a strategic planning tool that sets out the objectives for the spatial development of the city of Innsbruck over the next ten years. On the one hand, it identifies specific measures and development areas for various uses. On the other hand, it also leaves room for long-term flexibility and development potential. The aim is to ensure that, within our limited built-up area, we have – both now and in the future – space for what we, as a growing provincial capital, need in our daily lives: housing, workplaces, nurseries, schools, parks and sports facilities, cultural and leisure facilities, transport routes, open spaces and much more.

Every Tyrolean municipality is obliged, under the Tyrolean Spatial Planning Act (TROG), to draw up an ÖROKO. This must be adopted as a by-law by the respective Municipal council. The objectives and requirements of the Spatial Planning Act determine the content and scope of the ÖROKO.

As an overarching planning instrument, the ÖROKO provides the municipality – that is, the town itself – with the framework for subsequent land-use and development plans. However, no one – including landowners or prospective developers – has an automatic right to a change in land-use designation or development planning. As before, this decision depends on further technical reviews, clarifications and assessments.

Before and during the multi-year process of updating the ÖROKO, Innsbruck’s town planning department carried out numerous baseline analyses, studies and collaborative planning processes for individual spatial planning topics as well as specific development areas. Ongoing analyses will continue to be carried out in future, which, in addition to evaluating ÖROKO 2.0, are also intended to facilitate in-depth, topic-specific examination. Further information on this can be found under Projects & Urban Development.

Where can I get an overview of the ÖROKO?

A good overview and introduction to the ÖROKO is provided by the magazine "Perspektive Stadtraum". Here, the contents of the ÖROKO 2.0, the future challenges and opportunities for the joint design of a livable Innsbruck are presented clearly and briefly. The Service Unit Spatial planning and urban development invites you to browse through the magazine, to discuss it with others and to get inspiration for your own project ideas. Because the implementation of ÖROKO 2.0 needs everyone.

ÖROKO 2.0 comprises:

  • Text of the regulation, including annexes
  • Regulation plan

Notes

  • The ‘grey plan’ corresponds in content to the regulatory plan and differs only in its presentation (in accordance with Annex 3 to the 2016 Ordinance on Planning Bases and Plan Symbols).
  • The partial regulatory plans reflect the current status of the development of ÖROKO 2.0 and, unlike the provisions in the regulatory plan, do not depict a planning horizon.
