This book explores and debates the urban transformations that have
taken place in Vienna over the past 30 years and their consequences
in policy fields such as labour and housing, political and social
participation and the environment. Historically, European cities
have been characterised by a strong association between social
cohesion, quality of life, economic ambition and a robust State.
Vienna is an excellent example for that. In more recent years,
however, cities were pressured to change policy principles and
mechanisms in the context of demographic shifts, post-industrial
transformations and welfare recalibration which have led to
worsened social conditions in many cities. Each chapter in this
volume discusses Vienna's responses to these pressures in key
policy arenas, looking at outcomes from the context-specific local
arrangements. Against a theoretical framework debating the European
city as a model of inclusion and social justice, authors explore
the local capacity to innovate urban policies and to address new
social risks, while paying attention to potential trade-offs. The
book questions and assesses the city's resilience using time series
and an institutional analysis of four key dimensions that
characterise the European city model within the context of
post-industrial transition: redistribution, recognition,
representation and sustainability. It offers a multiscalar
perspective of urban governance through labour, housing,
participatory and environmental policies, bringing together
different levels and public policy types. Vienna: Still a Just
City? is aimed at academics, researchers and policy-makers in urban
studies, including urban sociology, ecology, geography and welfare.

This comprehensive textbook provides a thorough analysis of the
nature of European societies across the expanded EU member states.
Using a wealth of data, the authors compare the different
dimensions of the territorial and social order of Europe and
address a range of issues relating to Europeanisation and key
topics such as inequality, migration, poverty, population and
family, the labour market and education. Presented in a student
friendly way, this book also helps unravel people's attitudes
towards Europe, European integration and citizens of other European
countries. It will be an essential read for under- and

In Europa schrumpft die Mittelschicht, was fur eine Reihe von
EU-Mitgliedslandern bislang kaum untersucht wurde. Dies trifft auch
auf OEsterreich zu, welches sich durch Umbau der Sozialpolitik,
Flexibilisierung des Arbeitsmarktes, Zuwanderung und einem Aufstieg
rechter politischer Parteien in einem starken Umbruchprozess
befindet. Dies ist der Hintergrund fur eine in diesem Sammelband
erstmalig vorgenommene Analyse des Schrumpfens der
oesterreichischen Mittelschicht. Der Band ist multidisziplinar
angelegt (Autor*innen aus Soziologie,
OEkonomie,Politikwissenschaft, Zeitgeschichte), und versammelt
theoretisch orientierte und empirische Beitrage etablierter
Autor*innen wie auch Nachwuchswissenschaftler*innen.
