Vienna

Available for over a year

As the cost of rent continues to rise across the UK, Kirsty Lang looks for solutions. This is the first of a series of five programmes which explore some radical alternatives. Sixty per cent of Vienna’s population lives in subsidised housing. And that reduces the cost of private rental accommodation too. Kirsty finds out the secret of the city’s housing success and gets a tour of a local resident’s home.
