Following World War I, Vienna faced severe overcrowding as many displaced by the war flocked to the city. In response, the Social Democratic Workers' Party initiated a comprehensive program to construct state-owned housing. This move laid down the foundation for what is now known as Vienna's 'rental utopia', characterized by long-term, affordable rental options that have become a central element of the city’s social fabric and strategy against housing crises.
The roots of Vienna's rental utopia can be traced back to the aftermath of World War I when the Austrian government began a massive program of state-owned housing construction.
In response to the housing crisis caused by population displacement, Vienna's Social Democratic Workers' Party took bold steps to provide affordable and stable rental options for its citizens.
