There are at least two clear reasons why #Vienna is so often voted one of the most liveable cities in the world:

1. the defining logic of the city is: 'is this good for children' in stead of 'is this good for property developers'?

2. When awarding planning permission Vienna's planners requires 50% 'affordable housing' in all new urban developments, not the much lower ratios elsewhere.

Our #housingcrisis & our #socialhousing might look different with such ideas in place.
