Location:A lively residential area in the middle of Liesing

Where horticulture was practiced for decades, in the vicinity of Harry Glück's famous Alterlaa residential park, special residential quarters are being created with generous green and open spaces, community gardens and sustainable energy concepts. One of these is the "In der Wiesen" urban quarter, which focuses on sport and exercise, climate-resilient neighborhood planning and innovative and affordable housing models.

In der Wiesen Süd

The innovative urban development project focuses on cross-quarter management, a "green axis" as a central green space, socially mixed neighborhoods and urban gardening. An active neighborhood and community management promotes social interaction. Climate-neutral heating and cooling with heat pumps is unique in low-cost residential construction. The concept combines sustainable, green living spaces with social integration and modern technologies to create a vibrant and ecologically responsible future of living.
