Too little green
Favoritenstrasse is now to become “wow”
The gray pedestrian zone in the 10th district is now being rebuilt and made greener. With 35 trees, 2000 square meters of new green spaces and better lighting
The 1.3-kilometre-long pedestrian zone in Favoritenstraße has so far presented a very colorless picture. Gray asphalt wherever you look, greenery is a foreign word. Quality of stay is zero. No wonder: around 99 percent of the surfaces are sealed. It is unbearably hot there in summer. But that is now set to change.
With 35 new trees, 2,000 square meters of new green spaces and better lighting - City Councillor Ulli Sima and district leader Marcus Franz (both SPÖ) came to the ground-breaking ceremony on Thursday morning for the first phase of the design work on the popular shopping street in the heart of the 10th district. Work will start in the lower part of the pedestrian zone, from Platz der Kulturen to Landgutgasse.
The overall project will extend to Reumannplatz in the following years. The first part of the design will be completed by fall 2025. Part two will then continue from spring 2026.
