Vienna Housing Model

The Vienna Housing Model refers to Vienna's unique approach to providing affordable housing, where the government plays a significant role in ensuring that residents have access to quality homes. The model emphasizes public investment in social housing, mixed-income neighborhoods, and strict regulations on rent and property development. This helps maintain affordability and prevents extreme price fluctuations. As a result, a large portion of the population lives in well-designed, subsidized apartments, fostering social cohesion and inclusivity while also promoting sustainable urban development. Vienna’s approach is often cited as a successful blueprint for addressing housing challenges in other cities.
