Brigittenau is astonishingly good connected with the other districts, not only because of 25 bridges, busses, tramway lines and the subway lines U4 and U6, but also very good reachable by car. The dynamic building development of the district led to a distinct population increase (in 2010: 82,083 citizens; 2021: 85,264 citizens; 2023: 85,690 citizens) and, thus, to a rise in the demand for living space. As a result, there arose also one of two very important city development zones on the area of the former railway station Nordwestbahnhof which has a size of 44 hectare (the other city development zone is on the former railway station Nordbahnhof). There is planned to arise a new part of town with living space for 12,000 people and 5,000 jobs (amongst others by building new educational institutions).
