The city administration of the Linz decided to take an innovative step in 1990's: housing had to be built for 10,000 people, which made a large scale city expansion necessary. Since conventional buildings consume large amounts of fossil fuel, the decision was made to pursue a purely ecological variant for teh first time in a dense residential project.

The core of the urban planning on teh site is the work of Roland Rainer. The design of the open spaces was conceived by Atelier Dreiseitl. The international READ-Group consisting of Thomas Herzog, Renzo Piano, Norman Foster, Richard Rogers and the energy planner Norbert Kaiser was responsible for the overall energy/architecture concept. The urban planning of the second construction phase was realized by Martin Treberspurg.
