“Gentle urban renewal” therefore serves to enable social diversity, to ensure affordable housing in Vienna and to offer a high quality of life for everyone. 

To inform tenants and owners of residential buildings in depth about rehabilitation and refurbishment options, subsidies or flat purchase and sale possibilities as well as tenants’ assemblies, wohnfonds_wien and the Urban Renewal Offices (Gebietsbetreuungen Stadterneuerung, GB*) offer a broad range of specific information services. In addition, these institutions co-operate with several specialised departments of the Vienna City Administration. Experts help clients to find the best solution for their respective project and assist them all the way through implementation.
