The small municipality (just under 800 inhabitants) is located on the shores of Lake Weissensee in Carinthia. With its “gentle tourism”, it is one of the most important tourist regions in Carinthia - both in summer and winter. The location of the municipality around Lake Weissensee and the focus on tourism also causes problems for sustainable settlement development and thus for the quality of life of the residents. The municipality is divided into seven villages and important social infrastructure such as schools, kindergartens, shops etc. are scattered around the lake.

For some time now, the municipality of Weißensee has been trying to plan and implement a center that functions in the everyday life of the residents - within the financial framework of a small municipality.

In this context, the exercise is working towards creating a transformation plan for the development of the center, which shows a (economically and spatially) possible process through gradual changes in dealing with the building stock, mobility and public space.
