New quarter
Around the lake of the Seestadt
What is it like to live in a district that did not exist ten years ago?
A district that did not exist fifteen years ago: housing by an artificial lake, wide promenades, cranes on the horizon. The walk circles the lake once and shows what new Vienna feels like: big sky, young trees, everything built for what comes next.
Getting there: 26A, 550, N20 to Wien Flugfeldstraße, 301 m to the start. Loop walk: you finish where you started.
The route and its data
The coloured line is the walk, routed on the real pedestrian network. Toggle a data layer, or tap anywhere on the map to see trees, noise, heat and travel times for that exact spot.
Tap the numbered stops for what makes each spot special, or tap anywhere for the full “what’s here?”.
Every 100 metres of the route, classified from the real data: green spaces, the official noise map, footfall.
About 2 m of climbing and 3 m of descent, between 156 and 157 m above sea level. Sampled every 25 m from open elevation data.
For pioneers: plenty of new, often subsidised housing and a young neighbourhood, all still taking shape. If you are after period-building patina, you will not be happy here.
Much is still taking shape: the trees are young, some ground floors still empty, and the U2 ends here. In return there is a lot of new, often subsidised housing by the lake.
What changes along the way
Every 100 metres of the walk, sampled against wohnwahn’s data. The bars run from the start (left) to the finish (right). In short: 64% of the way feels green · 100% quiet · a bit off the transit grid.
Values are 0 to 100 per 250 m cell. Parks and water have no residential cell of their own, so those stretches read the nearest neighbourhood. Source: Vienna tree register, official heat map, environmental noise map, footfall and own transit routing.
