- Abstract
This chapter analyses Vienna’s status as a just city by focusing on the development of housing conditions (housing costs and tenure security). Although conditions have changed, our findings reveal that Vienna’s model of housing for all – characterised by both a large social housing segment as well as strict rent control in private rental – continues to provide affordable and secure housing for a broad section of the population. Nevertheless, a gap in the housing conditions within the private rental sector unfolds in Vienna, which increasingly excludes (low-income) newcomers from affordable and secure housing.
