2000 Years of Housing in Vienna

The history of housing can also be told as the (cultural) history of a city (in this case Vienna) – from its agricultural settlement by the Celts to the social housing of the present. Within this dual history, political and economic developments as well as social norms came to be reflected in forms of housing that, at the end of the twentieth century, increasingly drew critique. In this book, Wolfgang Förster explores how the sociocultural history of a city can be told through the development of housing.
