Show Notes
In this episode, Herman and Corn dive deep into the pragmatics of aging within Vienna’s world-renowned social housing system. They explore how the city integrates emergency response, human caretakers, and tenant-friendly laws to prevent the isolation of seniors. By contrasting the Viennese model with the private rental market in Jerusalem, the brothers discuss how housing policy shapes the social fabric and provides a dignified environment for the end of life. It’s a conversation about more than just architecture; it’s about how a city can act as a lifelong partner for its citizens.
