Located in the south of Vienna, Favoriten is a district of dynamic development. Once known as a classic working-class district dominated by industry, the now diverse Tenth District is in a state of transformation. Despite common clichés regarding the large public housing complexes, Favoriten offers an attractive mix of urbanity, cultural diversity, and green spaces for relaxa- tion. Vibrant shopping streets, markets, and multicultural third places contrast with quiet, almost rural areas such as Oberlaa or the Wienerberg recreational zone. Places such as the former Ankerbrotfabrik bread factory, the Amalienbad indoor swim- ming pool, and the Tichy ice cream parlour are well-known far beyond the district. After Donaustadt, Favoriten ranks second amongst Vienna’s most populous districts. Nearly as many people live in Favoriten as in Linz, Austria’s the third largest city – tendency still rising. It comes as little surprise that the Tenth District has Vienna’s second-busiest new development activity – even if it has recently seen a light de- cline. Newly built housing projects include Maja on Gudrunstraße, DECK ZEHN and Laxury on Laxenburger Straße in the Neues Land- gut quarter as well as OLÉ OLÉ on Laaer-Berg-Straße. Large urban development projects such as the Altes Landgut on the rounda- bout are particularly influential: previously used as a transit zone, a climate-friendly cluster of traditional Viennese grätzel neighbour- hoods is set for development here as a flagship project of modern urban planning with an innovative mobility concept. Planning for the new Am Kempelenpark quarter project is also underway with a total of around 1,100 new apartments to be developed there.
The RothNEUsiedl project envisages a climate-friendly district with short distances, 40 hectares of green space, affordable housing, and social infrastructure to be developed on 124 hectares. This future district project pioneering in climate protection will see priority given to pedestrians, cyclists, and sustainable construc- tion. Completion is expected within the next decade. The former Siemens site is under development as a new, diverse urban quarter with a high proportion of green space. This new neighbourhood connects the Sonnwendviertel quarter to the Bohemian Prater. The development involves 1,100 new apartments on what was previously a strictly commercial site, and construction kick-off is due for 2026. Favoriten also has a lot going for it in terms of climate-friendly infrastructure and upgrading public spaces: Favoritenstraße will be redesigned, the 1.3-kilometre pedestrian zone from Platz der Kulturen to Reumannplatz will be extensively greened and mod- ernised by 2027. The Hauptbahnhof main railway station forecourts are to be redeveloped starting in spring/summer 2026. Together with ÖBB, the City of Vienna is unsealing more than 3,500 square metres of space. New trees, plant beds, mist columns, and drinking fountains aim to improve the microclimate at Südtiroler Platz and around Gerhard-Bronner-Straße. Cycling enthusiasts in Favoriten have been benefitting from cycling infrastructure improvements on the Wieden section of the Vienna Beltway since June 2025: a new, structurally separated two-way cycle path flanked by green spaces has replaced the previous path.
