CHAPTER

History and Impact of Social Housing Initiatives in Europe and the United States

This chapter delves into the housing crisis in Vienna post World War I and the subsequent large-scale non-commercial housing projects in many European countries. It contrasts the dominance of the real estate industry in the United States with the supportive stance of non-real estate capitalists in Europe towards de-commodified housing. The chapter also explores federal housing initiatives in the U.S., from the New Deal era to the challenges faced in implementing public housing programs.
