Like other urban regions in Europe, Vienna has experienced a pronounced population growth that exceeds any previous assumptions. The study at hand discusses a methodology for a monitoring of the urban region, which was generated to assess these developments in detail. It focuses on a few but crucial indicators, namely: population growth, birth and migration rates, migration flows and building land availability on a small scale. The results show that the strong population growth is predominantly caused by high net migration gains from other parts of Austria and foreign countries. These gains have been increasing recently and focused mainly on the core city. Hence, there is a growing tendency towards (re-)urbanisation. In contrast, the numbers of suburbanisation migration are stagnating, although at a high level. Therefore, different phases of urban development can be observed at the same time, though their impact is changing. In addition, a responsible handling of the remaining land reserves and a higher building density are necessary in the future to provide housing for further population growth in the urban region. Future monitoring projects could build upon the following recommendations: First, small-scale and register-based data should be increasingly used for the analysis of urban regions. Second, scenarios for the future development are an effective method to illustrate the results. Third, such findings should be embedded increasingly in an international context, both from a planning and a scientific perspective.
