> There's never a mention of a lack of tree canopy in vast parts of the city, or that reflective pavements and green roofs are nonexistent.

Can you expand on this? Because it feels like greening is always a pressing topic for any architect working here[0][1].

I was referring more to everyday discourse rather than city initiatives. Apologies for the confusion.

And my criticism is mainly of the city in its current form. I'm appreciative of the efforts from the city, but walking around Neubau, it's hard to describe it as anything other than a concrete jungle.

I mean Neubau (1070) is the concrete jungle in central Vienna. I don't now how that district can be so popular tbh.
