Vienna’s co-housing model offers a key to keeping families in the city As surging rents in world capitals diminish social diversity, projects such as Austria’s Gleis 21 offer one way to ease the crisis

The housing crisis is still being underplayed Young adults are being robbed of the milestones that marked the lives of previous generations

'A 100% real-terms increase in the unaffordability of perhaps the single most important good in modern western society has generally been treated as a young person’s issue with politicians paying only lip service to solutions'
