Jana is part of a project creating gratzloasen, miniature parks in Vienna's 18th district. These parks, approved by city hall, have emerged since 2015 and now total over 100 across the city. Local Agenda 21 provides grants and support for creation. Jana initially learned about the project in 2019 and began constructing one in 2020, navigating complicated paperwork and community pushback. Despite challenges, such initiatives are recognized for being inexpensive, community-oriented, and well-received by residents.
"Gratzloasen have struck a balance of being cheap, affordable, community-led and appreciated by local people."
"With the blessing of the city hall, more than 100 of them have sprung up across Vienna, providing a bit of greenery to urban areas."
