The quality of life in Vienna is one of the highest in the world! This high standard of living goes hand-in-hand with a historically developed culture of housing. Housing concepts and the political tools used to implement them have been developing continuously, parallel to the changes in society. This guided tour leads us through the Nordbahnhof urban development area and to a wide variety of concepts that show the way we live in Vienna.
