Symposia
With the instrument of the International Building Exhibition, Vienna is creating a platform to find exemplary answers to questions of "New Social Housing". The IBA_Vienna wants to go beyond the traditional format of a local exhibition.
It does not only want to initiate and present housing policy innovations, but also initiate a broad exchange between countries, cities and different actors on the main challenges of housing policy and possible solutions.
The IBA_Vienna organizes and participates in symposia that bring together experts and initiate a broad exchange on the main challenges of housing policy and possible solutions.
