This book presents new research on spaces for science and processes
of interurban and transnational knowledge transfer and exchange in
the imperial metropolis of Vienna in the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries. Chapters discuss Habsburg science policy,
metropolitan natural history museums, large technical projects
including the Ringstrasse and water pipelines from the Alps, urban
geology, geography, public reports on polar exploration, exchanges
of ethnographic objects, popular scientific societies and
scientifically oriented adult education. The infrastructures and
knowledge spaces described here were preconditions for the
explosion of creativity known as 'Vienna 1900.'
