Vancouver, a city which has consistently ranked alongside Vienna for the world\u2019s most livable city, is now being studied by urbanists as a having one of the most challenging housing situations in the world. Vienna, conversely, has a deep history of social housing that stretched from its famous \u201cRed Vienna\u201d period up to today\u2019s innovation in housing models and social living. This exhibition lays out the Vienna Model of social housing as well as illustrating the architecture, neighbourhoods and the people who have shaped its equitable housing program. In Vienna today, up to sixty-percent of people living in the city dwell in social housing or receive some form of subsidized housing. Is the Vienna model for housing a paradigm that Vancouver could emulate, or even aspire to?<\/p>\n

Accompanied with a public program of panel discussions held in distinct institutions, the exhibition The Vienna Model: Housing for the 21st<\/sup> Century, is a platform to address the growing public consensus and anxiety that Vancouver\u2019s housing context needs reshaping and reconsideration. How does the Vienna Model resonate with the housing situation and urban imagination in Vancouver today?<\/p>\n

The Vienna Model in Vancouver is a collaboration between Urban Subjects, The Western Front, the Museum if Vancouver, the VanCity Office of Community Engagement with support from SFU Institute for the Humanities, SFU School for the Contemporary Arts, SFU Urban Studies Program, and the UBC School of Architecture + Landscape Architecture.<\/p>\n

The Vienna Model in Vancouver was initiated by Urban Subjects<\/a> (Sabine Bitter, Jeff Derksen, Helmut Weber), an artistic research group who live in both Vancouver and Vienna and who focus on urban issues.<\/p>\n

Alternatives to the Housing Crisis:
\nCase Study Vienna
\nUrban Planning, Dissensual Politics and Popular Agency<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Public Lecture: Gabu Heindl<\/a>
\nArchitect and planner from Vienna, Austria on alternatives to the housing crisis.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u21e8 Simon Fraser University Woodwards, World Art Studio, 7 pm<\/p>\n

The worldwide crisis of a dramatic lack of affordable housing \u2013 even in affluent cities such as Vancouver and Vienna \u2013 is part of a larger urban crisis that is based on speculation of urban land, the re-distribution of wealth from the poor to the rich, and on the collectivization of losses and the privatization of gains characteristic of neoliberalism.<\/p>\n

Therefore, is a politics aiming at the right to affordable housing for all is necessary in this moment And housing, of course, is always more than itself \u2013 for we are housed in cities and thus also in infrastructural networks, power relations, public spaces, all of which are under pressure from market appropriation. In this talk Gabu Heindl proposes equality, justice and the enabling of political dissensus as parameters for city planning.<\/p>\n

Using Vienna as a case study, this lecture explores the relationship of affordable housing to urban planning politics and will discuss historic and current housing policies, not least in a critical cross-analysis with the Vancouver case. Touching upon the re-articulated model function of 1920s Red Vienna, Heindl will present her approach to combining strong claims (Setzungen<\/em>) in public planning with a critique of paternalistic governance and with maintaining zones of contact with popular agency.<\/p>\n

\nUrban Researcher, planner and author from Vienna, Austria on housing and city planning.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u21e8 Western Front, 303 8 AVE E, Vancouver,\u00a07:00 pm<\/p>\n

Today, it\u00a0seems, housing and consumption are the two instruments left for city\u00a0planning. In his talk, the Vienna-based architect and researcher, Andreas Rumpfhuber will discuss new forms of housing in an economy that is driven by a new\u00a0spirit capitalism \u2013 a capitalism whose dirty industry\u00a0has been outsourced to far away countries\u00a0and in which immaterial labour has become the dominant form of production. In discussing new forms of housing, he will\u00a0show projects that aim for a renewed\u00a0emancipatory and political project of housing\u00a0for the City of Vienna.<\/p>\n
