Historically, European cities have been renowned for their strong social cohesion, high quality of life, economic ambitions, and robust state institutions. Vienna serves as a prime example of this urban model. However, in recent years, cities have faced significant pressures to adapt their policies and mechanisms in response to demographic shifts, post-industrial transformations, and welfare recalibrations, resulting in deteriorating social conditions in many urban areas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo address these challenges, each chapter in this volume explores Vienna's responses to these pressures in key policy arenas, examining the outcomes within the specific local contexts. Against a theoretical framework that debates the European city as a model of inclusion and social justice, the authors examine the local capacity to innovate urban policies and address emerging social risks, while also considering potential trade-offs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book critically questions and assesses Vienna's resilience by employing time series analysis and an institutional analysis of four key dimensions that define the European city model within the context of post-industrial transition: redistribution, recognition, representation, and sustainability. It offers a multiscalar perspective of urban governance, encompassing labor, housing, participatory, and environmental policies, bringing together different levels and public policy types.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a focus on academics, researchers, and policy-makers in urban studies, including urban sociology, ecology, geography, and welfare, Vienna: Still a Just City? provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of urban transformation and its policy implications. The Open Access version of this book, accessible at www.taylorfrancis.com, offers a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 481g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 x 138 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367680114\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44105126347002,"sku":"9780367680114","price":53.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646338435830_book.jpg?v=1646980774","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/vienna-still-a-just-city-9780367680114","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
