!!!Substandardwohnungen

Sub-standard Housing, i.e. homes which do not meet modern living 
standards, in Austria for the most part dates back to the years of 
19th century Promoterism (Gruenderzeit) and before, when immigration 
to Vienna and other Austrian cities and towns reached its peak and 
large numbers of immigrants had to be accommodated in a short time. 
Sub-standard flats are for the most part small (bed/living-room and 
kitchen or living-room, small bedroom and kitchen) and have no or only 
very primitive private water supply and toilets. In the course of  
Urban Renewal many sub-standard buildings have been demolished, small 
flats merged to form larger units and/or modernised. Between 1971 and 
1991the number of sub-standard flats in Vienna declined from 262.000 
to 133.000.
