1919 – 1934 Red Vienna

Vienna is one of the important cities of Austria, and this city was exposed to the effects of both World War I and the Spanish flu at the same time. These two major crises affected the fabric of the city, as a result of these crises, approximately one third of the world’s population died. The city showed the need for open space among its proposals. In addition, the economic difficulties brought by the War accelerated the reconstruction of Vienna.The idea of ​​separation of people according to their social status was unnecessary in Vienna, so the idea of ​​equality of the people was advocated.

Since the differences in status between people in Paris and Lisbon are replaced by the idea of ​​equality of the people in Vienna, the emergence of these housing blocks is also linked to the socialist ideas adopted by the new party, and it is clear that people can also coexist. These open areas have been adopted as green areas and these green areas served as courtyards for the blocks It is possible to say that Vienna is the first city to step into mass housing projects.In addition, with this reference, it is possible to compare Herman Jansen’s plan for Bahçelievler. These common green spaces were intended to be built green spaces, and it was wanted to increase the interaction of people with each other. In other words, the idea of ​​going from part to whole in Bahçelievler City plan is more dominant.
