FACTS Demography

The Twelfth District was long considered to be a quiet, suburban working-class district. Meidling is currently proving to be an increasingly attractive district in its dynamism and diversity, gradually growing into an emerging hotspot in Vienna. Meidling has been undergoing remarkable development for some years, leaving an indelible mark on the residential market. Excellent transport connections are one such feature with the U4 and U6 metro lines and many light rail and tram lines making the district highly accessible, despite its location outside the Vienna Beltway. The district has more than forty parks including Haydnpark, Miep- Gies-Park, and Wilhelmsdorfer Park as recreational areas in the city. Well-known sights such as Schloss Hetzendorf palace and the Theresienbad spa complex add charm to the district. The increasing popularity of Meidling as a residential district has led to many new projects under development or in planning, in- cluding one project around the famous Meidlinger Markt and one along Breitenfurter Straße. Overall development has been highly favourable even if there are only a few major new development and renovation projects currently underway. Current projects include The Rose on Schlöglgasse, soVie on Schallergasse, and a construction project at Aichholzgasse 35 and Viventorgasse 63.

opment on the An den Eisteichen site; a school has been in plan- ning since 1971. The small urban woodland on Hoffingergasse will remain intact as small-scale construction projects on Khleslplatz cautiously revive the traditional Viennese grätzel neighbourhood. A climate-adaptive urban development is progressing well south of the Hetzendorf S-Bahn suburban railway station: land use reclas- sification and development plans will make the existing business area more versatile and create space for affordable housing. Buildings along Breitenfurter Straße are being reorganised to meet contemporary mobility requirements and the challenges of climate change. The neighbourhood around Tanbruckgasse is to be devel- oped further in alignment with Vienna’s climate goals – focused on resource conservation, climate-resilient structures, and reinforc- ing Meidling’s cultural identity. Existing residential complexes and block perimeter developments are preserved, while the mixed use of residential and commercial areas enjoys targeted subsidies. Infrastructure and public space are also seeing a lot of activity: Wiener Linien has been revamping the Tscherttegasse metro sta- tion since April 2025 to ensure greater comfort, safety, and com- plete accessibility. New access to Miep-Gies-Park will also upgrade the station. Many streets such as Kollmayergasse, Arndtstraße, Rollingergasse, and Tanbruckgasse will be greened and redesigned for traffic safety. Vierthalerpark and Christine-Busta-Park are also set to undergo a comprehensive redesign.
