Book excerpt: Throughout the world, Vienna is seen as the secret capital of social housing. Indeed, since the 1920s, the Austrian capital has developed a unique system of subsidized housing construction, independent of the?free? market, in which more than sixty percent of its population lives today.0'The Vienna Model 2', the book accompanying the successful exhibition by the same name, analyzes the latest developments in housing and documents the best Viennese examples from the last ten years. It shows how technical, ecological, and social qualities are continuously developed further as part of a wide participatory process, and can thereby set new standards. The0IBA_Vienna 2022, which is presented in this book for the first time, will also be dedicated to the topic of?New Social Housing.? Alongside this, renowned experts present the current housing construction situation in North America, Asia, and the EU. This volume therefore represents, together with its predecessor book The Vienna Model, a significant contribution to the worldwide discussion on the future of housing in cities, which will soon accommodate two-thirds of the world?s population.
