The quality of life in Vienna is one of the highest in the world! The high living standard goes hand-in-hand with a historically developed culture of housing. Housing concepts and the political tools used to implement them have developed continuously, parallel to the changes in society. This tour leads us through the Nordbahnhof urban development area and shows how the Viennese live.
