On the southeastern slope of Laaer Berg there is a park of about 60 hectares, which originated from the area of the Vienna International Garden Exhibition 1974. There are many food service facilities in the park.
The municipal outdoor pool on the Laaer Berg offers a variety of uses for both families and athletes during the summer months. Especially the 10-meter-high diving platform is a real highlight!
The town center of Oberlaa is defined as a building protection zone. Oberlaa is a popular destination for excursions with its numerous Heurigen (wine tavern).
The Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung in Favoriten is one of the largest municipal housing estates in Vienna, with a total of over 6,000 apartments and around 14,000 residents. The settlement, which was built in several phases from 1947 to 1976, is considered a prototype of so-called "social urban development" after World War II and was built according to the urban development model of a "loosened and greened city." It represented an enormous improvement in housing quality compared to the then prevailing housing situation in the still unrenovated Gründerzeit.As of 2017, the district was connected to Vienna's subway network by the extension of the U1 line, giving it a new urban dynamic. Demographic, infrastructural and social needs also pose further development challenges.
In order to be able to react to change processes in a functioning district with a long history, IBA_Vienna offers a framework for different actors, in the tradition of "gentle urban renewal", together with the local residents, local stakeholders and on-site initiatives to contribute and get involved in the development of ideas and concepts. In addition to retrofitting along the fields of action mobility, structural improvements, strengthening the local economy, new usage concepts for green and open space are needed, but also improvement of the infrastructure for children and young people as well as the anchoring of additional educational, cultural and social offers.
In the area east of Favoritenstrasse - Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung Ost (PAHO) - the measures coordinated with local partners will be implemented, evaluated and checked for their replicability by 2022. PAHO thus becomes a kind of "laboratory for innovations" for large housing estates in the 1970s.

Large housing estates such as the Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung are subject to constant change. As the art guide of the IBA_Vienna shows, the Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung as a social neighborhood was and is a place of creativity and offers not only affordable housing, but also a high quality of life, generous green spaces and diverse places for meeting and communication.
The local community service wohnpartner has conducted interviews with contemporary witnesses in the Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung and published them together with numerous photos in the book 'Die gute Siedlung. Zeitzeug*innen erzählen ihre Geschichte der Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung.' in 2019. The volume gives lively, very personal insights into the history of the entire settlement and the people who live in it.
