Today, it seems housing along with consumption are the two instruments left for city planning.

The lecture will discuss new forms of housing in an economy that is driven by a new spirit of capitalism, whose dirty industry has been outsourced to distant countries and in which immaterial labour has become the dominant form of production. The lecture will show projects that aim for a renewed emancipatory and political project of housing for the City of Vienna.
