The housing shortage in Austria is a pressing problem. Two recent events addressed the question of whether the use and renovation of existing properties could offer a solution: the symposium "The Future of Housing" and a panel discussion by TU-Vision.

Symposium on the Future of Housing

The 79th symposium "The Future of Housing", organized by "WohnenPlus" in Vienna's 20th district, examined whether the increasing demand for housing could be met through more efficient use of existing buildings. This would reduce new construction on "greenfield" sites and thus promote climate protection and sustainability.

Surprising Expert Vote

A surprising insight: 55% of the experts present considered better use of existing properties sufficient to meet the current housing demand in Austria. This demonstrates the enormous potential of this strategy in combating the housing shortage.

Diverse Perspectives and Challenges

Representatives from politics, research, and the real estate industry discussed possibilities and challenges. Heritage protection was identified as one of the hurdles. Prof. Heike Oevermann from TU Wien contributed her expertise in this area. Political representatives such as Georg Willi (Deputy Mayor of Innsbruck), Johannes Pressl (President of the Association of Municipalities), and Birgit Sandler (Deputy Mayor of Leoben) debated controversial concepts such as vacancy taxes to combat the housing shortage.

Urban vs. Rural: Different Approaches

Participants from rural and small-town areas brought important perspectives that differed from those of the Viennese representatives. This underscores the need for regional approaches to address the housing shortage.

Consensus and Future Challenges

There was agreement that the renovation and expansion of existing properties, as well as building on already sealed surfaces, offer great potential. The challenge now lies in reconciling the interests of property owners, the construction industry, politicians, heritage conservationists, and environmentalists. Only in this way can additional housing be created in existing structures and actually offered on the market to effectively combat the housing shortage.

Further Discussion at TU Wien

A complementary event organized by TU-Vision in June also addressed the topic. Those interested can learn more about it in a podcast:

Dr. Eileen Langegger, Head of Transfer Warehouse at Nuclear Engineering Seibersdorf

The supervision provided by the ACE (Academy for Continuing Education) has a very close relationship with the students. The lecturers and the dean of the institute are excellent in imparting knowledge and show the scientific side of management education. This clearly distinguishes TU Wien from other universities.

Aleksandra Petkov-Georgieva, BSc, MBA, Alumna Professional MBA Entrepreneurship & Innovation

An MBA at TU Wien allows you to, to combine the best of both worlds: Science and practice. You can not only learn from first-class professors, but also from but also from international students from different industries. A great experience, that I would not want to miss!

Univ.Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Leitner, Austrian Institute of Technology

The development and efficient use of new technologies is a key driver of corporate competitiveness. The multiple options require a strategic approach that takes into account market, organizational and social factors. The exchange with other MBA students makes it possible to integrate different perspectives.

Prof. Dr. Martin Friesl , Lecturer "Strategic Analysis, Planning and Implementation"

We live in times that are difficult to predict. Many companies are now faced with the task of reorienting themselves in a highly volatile and competitive environment. Meeting this challenge is the focus of this MBA program.
