Summary, etc. In the relation between urban development and the Viennese Danube different<br/>periods can be identified from the late 17th to the early 20th century. These periods were<br/>strongly intertwined with both the history of the river and the history of the city. Urban<br/>expansion into the floodplains is demonstrated in this paper by investigating the island Unterer<br/>Werd, next to the city centre. In the late 17th century the fluvial dynamic still hampered urban<br/>development on the island. First measures to stabilise the river banks and to protect buildings<br/>from floods were taken soon thereafter, but the majority of practices aimed at mitigating the<br/>risks and impacts of the frequent floods: inundation was a part of the arrangement and the main<br/>target was to minimise the potential impacts. This practice also prevailed after the 1830s, when<br/>urban expansion began to move into the north and northwest of the island and the Danube<br/>floodplains were considered an important land resource for the growing city. In connection<br/>with new technologies and available means to channelise the river, the relationship between<br/>Vienna and the Danube changed fundamentally. Urban development in the riverine landscape<br/>gained new momentum. This process was initiated before the Great Danube Regulation from<br/>1870 to 1875 was completed, the rate of growth accelerated after 1875. The last decades of the<br/>19th century mark a turning point in the urban development of Vienna, with expanding urban<br/>areas becoming dependent upon a well functioning and maintained flood protection system.
