Rebuilding Cities and Citizens: Mass Housing in Red Vienna and Cold War Berlin

Autor Margaret Haderer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – dec 2025
In Vienna after WWI and Berlin after WWII, the provision of mass housing not only was a response to a dire social need but also served as a key lever for building variants of socialism and liberalism. Zooming into the interplay between political ideologies and the production of space, this book shows that ideologies, understood as political beliefs that underpin everyday life, are never simply ‘written’ into space but that their meaning is made and re-made, negotiated and contested, and sometimes cunningly subverted in and through space. How people live was – and continues to be – a profoundly political question that involves negotiations of, and decisions on, norms and ideals of citizenship, freedom, equality, property, democracy, gender, and family life – negotiations and decisions that come with legacies that shape the present.

Recenzii

Margaret Haderer's book is a political archeology of housing utopias and impressively shows that there are alternatives to capitalist market logic. Her critical examination of ideologies reminds us that housing is not only determined by 'housing policies', but can be instrumentalized as 'politics of dwelling'., - Dr. Andrej Holm, Housing Researcher at Humboldt University Berlin,

A work both of urban history and housing theory, Rebuilding Cities and Citizens explores the making of urban and residential space as a political project. It will become a touchstone for scholars of housing in Vienna and Berlin as well as anyone interested in the relationship between politics, ideology and the city., - David Madden, Associate Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science
