Wieden combines solid middle-class flair with urbane vibrancy. Historical buildings – many of which were built before 1919 – and good infrastructure combined with diverse cafés and restaurants make the district an attractive location for living and working. The Fourth District is one of Vienna‘s more sought-after residen- tial areas, especially around Karlsplatz, Schwarzenbergplatz, and lower Wiedner Hauptstraße. Student life plays a major role in the area around the University of Technology; especially the bustling Freihausviertel quarter with its many restaurants attracts a broad target group. New construction activity in this district is very low despite its attractive location between downtown and the Hauptbahnhof main railway station. No other major new construction projects are currently planned apart from the Funkhaus, or broadcast-

ing centre, expansion on Argentinierstraße with new apartment development. Construction projects most recently completed in- clude Petzvalgasse, Wiedner Hauptstraße, and Mommsengasse. Urban development in the district is also in progress. The Argentinierstraße and Wiedner Hauptstraße redesign project has already been successfully concluded. More minor measures in the future will also contribute to upgrading, for instance on Mühlgasse, which could be transformed into a green, traffic- calmed pedestrian zone in the section between Pressgasse and Schikanedergasse. Schäffergasse is planned for an upgrade to its attractiveness with new trees and seating. In front of Vienna University of Technology, Karlsgarten has further development potential. The previous lease’s expiry creates an opportunity to redesign Karlsgarten and establish it permanently as a publicly accessible recreational space.
