The Lake

The heart of Vienna’s Urban Lakeside will be an approx. 90.000 sq m central park with a 50,000 sq m lake. With its landscaped banks and promenade, it will be the meeting-point for residents and all those who work in aspern. The lake is the centre and at the same time the central idea inspiring the city, embodying the focal concept of urbanism and the motto “enrich your life”.

Easily accessible from all points of aspern, the lake continues in watercourses and green swathes to the east and south-west. Via watercourses, linear green swathes, footpaths and bikeways, the former airfield is networked with the large-scale green zones around it.

The northern bank directly adjoins the future urban shopping street leading to the train station; the naturally designed southern bank will accommodate various recreational, sports, cultural and leisure options.

When the first residents will move into their flats in late 2013, they will already be able to enjoy the lakeside park as the “green lung” of Vienna’s Urban Lakeside.
