Social housing shapes the area — big courtyards, solid blocks.

Greenable roofs in Landstrasse
The roofs here are mixed, leaning towards flat surfaces. Of 262 hectares of roof area in the 3rd district, 140 hectares are flat enough for greening — 53.4 %, of which 112 hectares lie up to 5°, where a deeper build-up with beds would also work. Greened, that area would hold back on the order of 260,000 cubic metres of rain a year that otherwise runs into the sewer.
Own calculation of roof pitch per roof face from the City of Vienna’s official roof model (LOD2.1, CC BY 4.0), suitability thresholds of 5° and 20° as in the City’s green-roof potential cadastre. Whether a roof is already green is unknown to a geometry model; plant rooms and chimneys are not subtracted, and the statics have a say. The retention is a model built from 626.3 mm of annual rainfall (Hohe Warte, 1991–2020) and the runoff coefficients of ÖNORM B 2501. All districts compared →
