Seestadt as a Pioneer of the Sponge City Principle
Seestadt relies on the sponge city principle: Along the streets and paths in the northern part of the district, underground reservoirs collect rainwater. This reduces flooding during heavy rainfall, supplies trees with water, and creates a pleasant microclimate – a sustainable contribution to a livable district. Rain gardens in the parks also ensure that valuable rainwater seeps into the ground instead of disappearing into the sewer system.
Life in Seestadt
From a run around the lake to the Boulderbar and the soccer fields on the parking deck.
In addition, events like the Seestadtlauf, the Seestadt Triathlon or the Sportfest Donaustadt provide action.
With safe routes, nature-inspired playgrounds and weather-protected play and sports areas, Seestadt’s urban planning puts children at the center.
A special offer is the WIENXTRA-Stadtbox as an experimental space for young people, complemented by the Seestadt youth center with a fixed meeting point and a wide range of programs for kids and teens.
Diverse shops, a carefully curated selection and the weekly Mazzucco-Markt with fresh products make shopping in Seestadt special.
Art as part of the living space: A diverse program at the VHS Kulturgarage, readings at the Buchhandlung Seeseiten, events at Yella Yella! Nachbar_innentreff and much more.
The public space is characterized by low-threshold art such as the mural on the Seestadt promenade or the sculpture avenue. Exhibition venues like the LLLLLL artist run space invite exchange.
Owner-managed restaurants offer culinary variety – from bowls to cocktails. Special formats include the Speiseamt, Dinner in the Dark at Dialog im Dunkeln, the pop-up kiosk Tschau Tschau in summer by the lake, the neighborhood café by Jugend am Werk or the Seestadt canteen.
The lake and spacious parks invite you to relax, play and linger.
Green spaces and the Seestadt promenade create a unique atmosphere of relaxation and connect nature with urban living space.
The asperner terraces, originally shaped from lake excavation material at the very beginning of Seestadt’s development, are now a popular local recreation area for the neighborhood – and in winter even a toboggan hill for the little ones.
Just a few minutes by bike away, the Donauauen National Park and the green leisure oasis of the Danube Island stretch for many kilometers.
