> Mayor Michael Ludwig unveils the Frauen-Werk-Stadt - Neu gedacht project in Seestadt Aspern, featuring 80 apartments for community living.

Mayor **Michael Ludwig** announced the new **Frauen-Werk-Stadt** – Neu gedacht housing project during a **Vienna SPÖ** board meeting. Located in the **22nd district**'s **Seestadt Aspern**, the development will feature 80 apartments across more than 2,500 square meters of land.

The project emphasizes women-friendly planning, focusing on everyday requirements, open space design, and community living. A developer competition starting in 2027 aims to attract teams with many women to handle apartment layouts and neighborhood services.

This initiative follows the legacy of Frauen-Werk-Stadt I and II, built between 1995 and 2004. By integrating direct building police advisory services into the neighborhood, the city continues its commitment to specialized, accessible urban housing models.
