Seestadt Aspern is currently one of the largest urban development projects in Europe. Vienna’s newest district will be built for 25,000 residents by 2030 on an area similar to that of the 1st district. However, it is not the size alone that makes Seestadt special, but the innovative, resource-conserving and climate-friendly approach to modern urban development.

On this relaxed walk, we see concrete implementations of various ideas and community projects on the subject of living and housing.

We stroll past the second tallest wooden skyscraper in the world, explore various community gardens and meander through the alleyways of Slim City. We take a closer look at the eponymous lake, the city center and recreational area.

Even though the lakeside city is still in its infancy, street names in particular invite you to take a little detour into the past: streets and squares are predominantly named after outstanding women in Austrian history.
