Vienna’s expertise in providing functional, high-quality residences goes back to the “Red Vienna” of the 1920s and 1930s, and plays an outstanding role internationally. Since then, the city has pursued a housing development policy in stages which has contributed in essential ways to enhancing quality of life. The exhibition, conceived by Architekturzentrum Wien, provides a comprehensive overview of residential development in Vienna from its? beginnings up to the present. Featured are altogether twentynine realized projects of publicly sponsored housing and their embedding in ongoing urban development projects with attention to social and ecological aspects.

The exhibition at Aedes am Pfefferberg will run from 5 May until 10 June.
