Where Styria is still growing into the sky

Many regions in Styria are affected by emigration. In the greater Graz area, however, the influx knows almost no limit. In Reininghaus, for example, a new district for up to 12,000 people is being built. A site visit to a place that will be a building site for another ten years.

"I've always dreamed of a home with a view," says Karin Gruber. The Graz resident was actually thinking of a house on the outskirts of the city on a hill - but now she lives on the 14th floor of a high-rise building in the new Reininghaus district: "The streetcar goes to the front door, the elevator to my front door. So I can still enjoy the view when I'm 80. And Spar and the medical center are also within walking distance," she tells the "Krone" during her visit.
