With the IBA_Vienna 2022 which was announced in 2016 the Austrian capital is taking on the
challenges of an International Building Exhibition for the first time. The focus on New Social
Housing refers to Vienna's historical core competence in housing construction and to the most
pressing question for the development of European cities today: in light of current changes
how can cities remain inclusive livable and affordable and what can comprehensive
neighborhood development contribute to realizing these aims? On the occasion of the interim
presentation in 2020 the future.lab at the TU Vienna and IBA_Vienna 2022 will offer a first
summary of where things stand allowing experts from research planning politics and practice
to articulate positions.
