Abstract

The city of Vienna draws on a long and pronounced tradition of social and subsidized housing. Until today, regulating state interventions within the housing market dampen the level of rental prices. Nevertheless, the internationally renowned best-practice example of Vienna’s affordable housing market is increasingly under pressure. Population growth, rising prices for property and building land, as well as a diversifying field of actors being involved in the creation and ownership of flats as well as buildings are challenging the positive effects on life quality and social mix. This paper analyses the case of Vienna, to identify current challenges in affordable, accessible and high-standard housing provision. After all, this paper indicates current limitations of the city administration to fulfill its entitlement ensuring a socially just and affordable city.
