FACTS Demography
Donaustadt is Vienna’s largest district by area and is defined by the stark contrasts typical of peripheral districts. Wide fields, agricultural land, and small settlements contrast with a lively city atmosphere and large residential complexes. Donaustadt has been in a constant state of flux since its foun- dation in 1954. The Twenty-Second District is one of the most dynamic development zones in the city with more than a quarter of its area available for development. The district is home to the Vienna UN headquarters, some of Austria’s tallest buildings such as the DC Tower and the Donauturm , the lakeside town of Aspern, and major natural and recreational areas such as Donau- insel and Donau-Auen National Park. Almost half of Vienna’s total water area is located in Donaustadt, and the proportion of green spaces remains exceptionally high at over half despite heavy population growth and lively development activity. The idyllic character in many places in the district is enriched by state-of- the-art urban development projects characteristic of a twenty- first century city. It comes as no surprise that the Twenty- Second District has the highest dog population density of all the Viennese districts. The great potential of Donaustadt is reflected by many urban development projects, both ongoing and planned. Real-estate developers and construction companies are especially active here due to the space available. Examples include the upcoming completion of the DC 3 in Kaisermühlen by 2026, adding to the Viennese skyline. This contrasts with around 500 apartments and a day-care centre under development on the Am Rain site between Breitenleer Straße, Rautenweg, and Ziegelhofstraße. A park of around 2.5 hectares with high-quality green and open
space for future residents rounds off the project. The projects at Hirschstettner Straße 27–33 and 43 will also develop the remain- ing vacant lots around Raffenstättergasse. A new neighbourhood with around 540 apartments and business space is emerging south of Breitenleer Straße. Breitenleer Straße, a strip of trees along Walter Zeman Straße, and Am lange Felde define the bor- der around the triangular area of approximately four hectares. Mixed use with residential and commercial space is planned here in line with other previous business development zones. The Raffenstättergasse development zone comprises a total of around 1,000 residential units as well as a school location and day-care centre. Particular emphasis was placed on good transit and high-quality open spaces. The new Süßenbrunn West quar- ter is under development on an 8.5-hectare area between Süßen- brunner Straße and the Gewerbepark Stadlau trading estate. The plan encompasses 1,200 apartments. Two large public parks as well as a local amenity, day-care centre, and a wide two-way cycle path as well as new rows of trees along Süßenbrunner Straße are to form central elements of the new residential quarter. In addition, intensive work is being undertaken to expand green spaces: starting next year, the section of Simmeringer Hauptstraße between Litfaßstraße and Zippererstraße will be redesigned. The measures include planting additional trees to improve the microclimate, creating open spaces for playing and relaxing, installing light-coloured paving to reduce heat develop- ment, as well as adding new seating and water features to pro- vide cooling in summer. As part of the city-wide initiative aimed at turning tarmac into liveability, squares and streets are being redesigned – including in Simmering: Enkplatz, for instance, has already been completely remodelled in 2025.
