Vienna’s housing playbook: What rents look like inside Austria’s capital

 Vienna maintains affordable housing through a century-old social model. This system provides homes for half the city’s population. Middle-income residents are included, preventing social segregation. Tenants enjoy open-ended contracts and no upfront deposit fees. The city retains public ownership and continues expanding supply. Vienna maintains affordable housing through a century-old social model. This system provides homes for half the city’s population.
