Meanwhile, reverse gentrification, neighbourhood downgrading through the violent displacement of households with a higher socio-economic status, occurred in Vienna as a result of the Nazi regime, but as the latter also operated in a number of other European cities, this points to possible parallels that should be explored further. Austrian autumns, at least at the start, tend to be gorgeous and the perfect weather to show off your personality through layers and accessories. Landlords apply different strategies to maximize returns. The aim of this paper has been to apply the gentrification concept to an unusual temporal and geographical context. In terms of fashion, the scene can be hard to read to determine what is too formal or too informal. The remaining paper presents the six phases of gentrification in Vienna chronologically. When Vienna was liberated in April 1945, some 37,000 dwellings had been fully destroyed, and another 50,000 needed repair to be inhabitable. The long history of gentrification in Vi .

Given that members of the Jewish bourgeoisie were amongst the best qualified in interwar Vienna, it can be assumed that their apartments would have seen less qualified renters move in,17 or they would have been adapted for office use.

Inside dress isnt radically different from what you might wear in Autumn.

In neither sector do the owners operate on the basis of profit maximization. In such an understanding, gentrification is a specific form of neighbourhood upgrading that involves both a displacement-induced change of residents towards higher socio-economic status and the reinvestment of capital in the built environment. So, for anyone visiting this city and attempting to blend in, here are a few tips: Recognize that Vienna is living in a separate world from the rest of the country. Alongside investments, rents are raised and rent gaps are closed, with rents in the private rental sector increasing by 53.3% between 2008 and 2016 alone (Tockner 2017). Due to economic growth and educational achievements, housing standards and social status have improved from census to census in almost all areas. Given that Austria has an alpine climate, its smart to carry a light cardigan or pullover sweater (sans college or sports logos) just in case a wind blows through. Third, path dependencies from rent regulation also seem to operate in the opposite directionnot taming but rather fuelling gentrification. While international investors have certainly become more relevant, the market continues to be shaped primarily by local and national owners. On the contrary, physical and social downgrading was likely spreading due to lack of maintenance, subletting by impoverished middle-class households, and subdivisions of former tenement palaces. Existing approaches have been rightly criticized for overgeneralization from the usual suspect cities of gentrification research (cf. Vienna constitutes a specific case where demographic reurbanization has long been absent and strong state intervention in the housing market has been prevalent.6 This setting has distinctly shaped gentrification, both historically and today, demonstrating the need for contextualized periodizations of gentrification dynamics. displacement) that results in a change in the socio-economic status of a neighbourhood. The population dropped to 1.6 million, but the number of dwellings was once again in the pre-war range of 650,000. Real estate upgrading then attracts higher-income households to the area. As a rule, Austrians, like many of their European neighbors, dress in a sophisticated, fairly conservative way, and overly revealing clothing is generally frowned on.. Over the years such apartments could be gradually upgraded, with rents being adjusted for inflation only. Shoes can make or break a trip. Third, the analysis points to two specific forms of neighbourhood downgrading since 1890, which are relevant in Vienna and possibly also in other cities: incumbent downgrading for 19181938, and reverse gentrification for the atrocities of Nazi housing policy between 1938 and 1945. We draw three wider arguments from the Vienna case: first, the analysis shows the value of a historical perspective. 6 Local specificities are also related to the housing stock at each phase in Viennas history. Hyperinflation eroded the real value of frozen rents (and outstanding mortgages), bringing housing cost burdens down from 1530% of income to around 3%. For our wraps, on the other hand, we ask that all clients wear socks, a long-sleeved shirt, and pants. In a first step, these regulations led to the concentration of Jewish renters in Jewish-owned property. little private capital being reinvested into the built environment of the city at all during long phases of demographic decline and economic stagnation. At the beginning, springtime is still cold and rainy throughout most of Austria. 23 The net rent in rental units with a contract of 30 years or more (pre-dating the rent regulation reform) was on average 3.7/m2 in 2020. In Vienna, 200,000 of the 1.9 million inhabitants fell under Nazi definitions of Jewish ancestry; these individuals occupied some 70,000 out of a total of 650,000 dwellings. Besides regularly raising rents via temporary contracts, three strategies are relevant here. Meanwhile, Austrias roads happen to be paved, cobbled, and unpaved, so leather shoes with thick soles and heels should do the trick to keep your feet comfortable. The reforms apply to new contracts onlya common way of reforming rent regulations in Austria. We have the answer! Have a question about the services we offer? However, they provide valuable original material that can be reinterpreted through the gentrification lens, as we do in this paper. The municipal housing sector, i.e. Overall, the population stagnated but income grew and purchasing power rose across society to be spent on consumer goods, travel and cars.18 Demand for better housing came later, starting with suburban homes and turning to the inner city much later, beginning only in the 1980s. Similarly in 1951, the Austrian Rent Act of 1922 was reinstituted, with minor adaptations, banning any evictions or rent increases for most of the existing housing stock. But dont be fooled, people are still looking at what youre wearing. Both of these options scream tourist. Choose an understated travel backpack instead. Whereas in the late 19th century the process was very much driven by real estate capital, the financial motives of building companies and the operation of land markets along the lines of supply-side perspectives, in the 1970s and 80s it was pioneers and demographic changes that gave more importance to demand-side perspectives. This literature is the database we are drawing upon throughout our study. We provide a clean shower room fully equipped with disposable flips flops, q-tips, fresh towels, and shower gel for you to use after your ultrasonic body contouring or other services. Beginning in the late 1980s, the context for Viennas urban development changed dramatically. Any quality improvements within the apartments had to be carried out by the renters themselves, which they did in many cases, adding and improving power lines and gas pipes, and retrofitting kitchens, bathrooms and toilets, all using their own funds, and/or with their own hands, on top of their frozen rents (cf. But if you want to give the Viennese and wider Austrian look a try, let me break down seasonal fashion and help you blend in. In the 1880s, and again in 1910/11, a series of violent protests against evictions along with rental strikes took place in Vienna (John 1982). 5 Howick Place | London | SW1P 1WG. This approach, particularly developed with reference to the Western European context where housing decommodification traditionally played a stronger role, emphasizes how neighbourhood change is crucially influenced by the state and other non-market housing actors, e.g. Our cabins are private, which allows our clients the comfort of wearing yoga clothes, a bathing suit, or whatever fits their comfort level in our clothing-optional cabins. 20 Whereas in other contexts, particularly in the US and the UK, urban renewal often involved large-scale new construction, in Vienna, particularly from the 1970s onwards, it more often took the form of renovation of the existing building stock. In the housing market, house prices and rents rocketed, due not only to geopolitical and demographic shifts, but also to speculative investments(Kadi 2015). New construction projectsby the municipality, but increasingly by a burgeoning number of non-profit cooperatives and companies as wellcatered to the demands of newly formed households (see Figure 1). Such a perspective can not only illuminate the transformation of working-class neighbourhoods prior to the 1960s, but it can also help us better understand the present. If you can, always bring along a small foldableumbrella,and never take it for granted that a seemingly sunny day will stay that way.. Despite notable recent attempts to broaden it (Lees, Shin, and Lpez-Morales 2016; Slater 2017; but see Ghertner 2015 for a critique), the attention of research remains highly uneven. Dont get me wrong, youd have to sit me down for amlange(a Viennese cappuccino) and get me to think about any qualms I have about Austria. However, this is the time when the country starts to breathe life back into itself and people begin to shed their darker winter clothes in favor of pastels and brighter colors. Following Marcuse (1986) and Slater (2006), among others, we furthermore consider displacement to be a key feature of the change in the population of land-users and acknowledge that this can take various forms. Table 1: Selected forms of neighbourhood change. In contrast to Smiths account, global capital still plays only a limited role in Vienna. Everyone should avoid wearing shorter shorts and cutoffs. 18 There is also a noteworthy difference in incumbent upgrading in Vienna compared to the original formulation of the process by Clay (1979) based on his observations in the US context. Direct displacement is limited due to the protection of rents in existing contracts. Mentioning your coupon or voucher while booking will also speed up your check-out process!

We borrow the term gentrification 1.0 introduced by Reick (2018) for the European city at that time to describe this phase. Thanks to Cody Hochstenbach for drawing our attention to this fact. Step by step, all of these dwellings were redistributed. Whereas pioneer gentrification was limited to a few select neighbourhoods, the transformation of the private rental stock over the past 20 years has affected large parts of the inner districts, spreading out into more peripheral parts of the city. Due to Viennas fin-de-sicle boom followed by 70 years of shrinkage and stagnation, the citys built fabric has remained one of the oldest of all metropolises. To study neighbourhood change in Greater Berlin from the 1850s to 1890s, Philipp Reick (2018) made innovative use of retro-digitalized address books. Gentrification is predominantly examined in a very narrow set of cases of Western cities in the Global North, particularly in the US, the UK and Western Europe (Kadi 2019). Beginning in 1986, units with the highest equipment standard were exempt from rent regulation, a policy meant to incentivize investment and upgrading by owners. pre-1919) still accounts for some 32% of all housing units (based on numbers for 2011; Statistik Austria 2011). Where downgrading involves a deteriorating building stock and declining socio-economic status through an impoverishment of existing residents, but without a significant change in residents, we refer to it as incumbent downgrading.1 Where there is a decline in socio-economic status through displacement, as occurred with the forced eviction of 70,000 Jewish households in Vienna under National Socialism, we refer to it as reverse gentrification. In and around the city centre, office space started to replace residential space in large apartments before purpose-built office buildings became available. Dressing down, whether you are at theWiener Staatsoper(the Viennese State Opera) orVolkstheater(the Peoples Theatre) or going to one of Viennas famous balls is putting yourself at risk of feeling out of place. The direction of neighbourhood change may also be downwards rather than upwards, i.e. Their main business was land acquisition, street layout and the parcelling out of building plots, spreading uniform standards across the city even before urban planning gained ground. No potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s). Both demographic and market conditions as well as urban/housing policy triggered the beginning of modern gentrification in Vienna, as the concept was known on the basis of Glass observations in London a decade earlier. Please try again. Within a few years, all parameters of the Vienna housing market turned upside down.

During Nazi rule in Vienna, for which we use the term, the state of housing remained more or less similar in some parts of the city and was downgraded through war damage and lack of maintenance in most parts. Austrian summers are warm, and Viennas summers can be scorching. Adolph Lehmann (18591942), available online at: https://www.digital.wienbibliothek.at/wbrobv/periodical/titleinfo/2316398. We show how these particular circumstances have moulded gentrification processes throughout the past 130 years. Marcuse 1986). 2 The state of the built environment is not causally linked to displacement in our understanding of reverse gentrification. I will stand by that statement 100% because blisters suck and walking is the best way to experience new places. Spring isnt a time to show how little you can wear and still be comfortable. People also read lists articles that other readers of this article have read. As long as you stay hydrated, you can go about your daily business after a sweat or infrared sauna wrap. This is not that trivial after all, however, when we see that considerable periods prior to the 1960s in Vienna were characterized by gentrification and neighbourhood upgradingas in the late 19th centurybut also, to considerable extent, by neighbourhood downgradingas in the first half of the 20th century, pointing to the significance but also insignificance of gentrification processes in this longer historical period. Whether in Vienna or in the rest of the country, when in doubt, dress more conservatively. The process is usually said to have started in the 1960s when Ruth Glass (1964) first coined the term. Its autonomy was substantially expanded when Vienna became a separate province in 1922.

These shifting contexts have both tamed and fuelled gentrification in the city over the last 130 years, with significant path dependencies that continue to shape gentrification in the city today. Hoffmann 1987; on Stndestaat housing cf. The historical housing stock (i.e. Bobek and Lichtenbergers (1966) detailed analysis of Viennas housing stock identified three phases of growth in the industrial era: early (18401870), high (18701890), and a late Founders Period (18901918). As legal rents declined in real terms, illegal key money defined the exchange in and access to the private rental market. With the reforms, the tenancy law also allowed for three, five and ten-year contracts. First, the replacement of older contracts that predate the latest rent regulation reform with newer contracts. Umbrellas, trench coats, and hats will certainly be needed, practically and fashionably, even towards the end of the season. Gradually, a growing number of larger and better-quality dwellings were added to the pre-industrial housing stock, and what Bobek and Lichtenberger (1966, 59, 89) call social upgrading began to take place. This history as well as the related violent displacement of the Jewish population is, however, not unique to Vienna. Gentrification is the outcome of a great variety of developments on the macro level, be they demographic, social, economic or political. These regulations set the scene for any social and physical upgrading or downgrading of the Vienna housing stock, from the interwar years to post-WWII reconstruction and prosperity.

Reverse gentrification may therefore also be investigated in other cities with comparable histories. Higher but spatially uniform rent levels based on the different equipment standards of dwellings were meant to induce owner-led investment. Ruth Glass (1964) description of middle-class gentrifiers who move into Victorian houses formerly occupied by working-class families in London, for example, is notably different from what Smith (2002) described as a blueprint of global gentrification in cities in the 21st century. This article distinguishes between six historical phases of gentrification in Vienna. This certainly applies to Vienna and would require a more geographically sensitive analysis than that conducted here. In suggesting gentrification equals the competition for urban space (Wyly 2019), his level of generalization is rather high. Friends that sweat together, stay together! 24 In Austria as a whole, 87.1% of all rental contracts in the private rental market were concluded within the last 20 years and thus according to the new rent regulation rules (Statistik Austria 2021, 41).
