Gemeindebau
A Gemeindebau is a type of public housing in Austria, especially Vienna, built and managed by city or municipal authorities to provide affordable living spaces for residents. These buildings are typically large, government-funded complexes designed to ensure accessible and quality housing, often with shared amenities and green areas. Gemeindebauten aim to promote social stability and inclusion by offering comfortable, cost-effective homes, and they are a significant part of Austria’s social housing system, reflecting the country’s commitment to urban planning and social welfare.
