Vienna Central Station

Project objectives

Two Viennese terminals (Südbahnhof and Ostbahnhof railway stations) were replaced by a modern through station with 5 platforms, linking local and long-distance trains from the south, west and east of Vienna. Through the closure of the terminals premium building land became available where office, industrial and residential buildings were built and a large park was installed. This provided jobs for 20,000 people and 5,500 new apartments.

Project description
