Historically influenced by the nearby ore mining and iron processing, there are strong ties to the metallurgical industry. The city is valued for living quality close to nature and offers a family-friendly infrastructure. An intensive process of change has been in progress for 10 years in order to equip the city for the challenges of the future. Various strategies and development models were introduced with the strong participation of the population and experts.

ISEK/Integrated Urban Development Concept

The integrated urban development concept is a specification of the existing urban development concept with the aim of concrete implementation measures. It is a pilot project in the state of Styria with the financial participation of the federal and state governments. In addition to a classic ISEK, all urban development topics are integrated and a "smart village concept" is created at the same time.
