Greenable roofs in Wieden
The roofs here are largely steep, the way the Gründerzeit built them; a build-up would not stay on. Of 88 hectares of roof area in the 4th district, 36 hectares are flat enough for greening — 41.1 %, of which 28 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 70,000 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 → What a single roof may still carry — an attic conversion or an added storey — is calculated from the zoning plan on Attic conversion in Vienna.

How hot does Wieden get in summer?
In summer Wieden is heat-prone — warmer than the Vienna average. Heat index 68 of 100 (Vienna average 56), modelled.

This is a MODELLED index (from building form, density, green space, street trees, water and elevation, checked against the City of Vienna's climate analysis map), not a measured temperature and not a count of hot days. Within one area it varies a lot: a green courtyard and a treeless street a few metres apart are not the same place.
How green is Wieden?
Green space in Wieden: Limited (3.4/10), about 15.4% green cover. Larger parks are a bit further away.
Who is Wieden a good fit for?
Most of all for people who value a safe area and clean air. Less ideal if good value for money is at the very top of your list — that's the trade-off here.
