Everybody lives somewhere in old age – however the expectations involved are as diverse as pensioners are as a group. How do spatial, financial and social factors have to interact to do justice to the generation over 50? The architecture journalist Franziska Leeb provides an overview of historical and current projects in Vienna. The event closes with a discussion on current trends and the possibilities for future developments, between Franziska Leeb, architecture journalist, Thomas Madreiter, Head of MA18, Peter Hacker, CEO Fonds Soziales Wien and Sonja Wehsely, executive councillor for health and social issues, with Dietmar Steiner, director of the Az W.
