The Ninth District is home to many of the University of Vienna’s institutes, giving it a lively, academic atmosphere. A wide variety of cafés and culinary offerings are also available for relaxation. This mixture is reflected in the urban character with classic up- per-class neighbourhoods alongside youthful, student-centric traditional Viennese grätzel neighbourhoods – especially around Friedensbrücke and Spittelau. The Ninth District is in a definite process of transformation with a great deal happening beyond the public space; after Althanquartier , initial plans have been released for redeveloping Julius-Tandler- Platz at Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof railway station. The square has been greened, with the aim of turning tarmac into liveability for the bene- fit of the climate and people. From 2030, a new, internationally oriented university campus for the University of Vienna and the BOKU University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences will be developed on the former Vienna University of Economics site. The project is considered Austria’s largest univer- sity building project in the coming decades. Plans include a shared lecture hall centre, generous open spaces, and a federal education centre. A 500-metre green open-space path will connect north and south access as well as existing and new buildings. Cycling infrastruc- ture will also be improved to include new and upgraded cycle paths.

Demolition is expected to start in 2027. The Vienna General Hospital/ MedUni site is set to undergo extensive modernisation in sixteen construction stages to be completed by 2030 in a contribution to international cutting-edge medicine, research, and teaching. Public transport is also seeing growth. The new metro station of the U5 leading to Karlsplatz at first, then Hernals, will be developed at Frankhplatz by 2026. The public space around the station will be redesigned together with local residents. The new tramline 12 provides a connection through the Eighth, Ninth, Twentieth, and Second Districts. The line offers numerous transfers to the metro and S-Bahn suburban railway services. Following the initiative for more greenery in the district, Alsergrund was the first district to carry out a comprehensive analysis of possible locations for new street trees, thus demonstrating the potential for more than two thousand additional trees. Things have also started moving again regarding housing supply in the district compared to previous years – both in terms of new construction and renovation projects. Examples include Prünkstück on Tendlergasse, Le Petit Lion on Rotenlöwengasse, ALSA – Rooftop Living on Nussdorfer Straße, and another project at Währinger Gürtel 134.
