Boden für alle (Land for Us All): An Exhibition on Critical Land Policy and Sustainable Futures

The touring exhibition 'Land for Us All' by Architekturzentrum Wien examines the critical issue of land policy and its impact on society. It highlights alternatives to current practices, addressing climate change, housing prices, and sustainable spatial planning.

The exhibition 'Land for Us All' (Boden für alle), curated by Karoline Mayer and Katharina Ritter, addresses the crucial role of land as a finite resource. It critiques current land management practices, such as soil sealing and speculation, which contribute to the climate crisis, inflate housing costs, and threaten public spaces and sensible transport policies. The exhibition reveals the complex political, legal, and economic factors determining land use, posing questions about how grassland becomes building land and why land prices rise. By comparing different national systems and showcasing international best practices, it offers viable alternatives for land planning. The touring exhibition aims to prepare the ground for new ways of thinking and acting towards land resource conservation, climate change mitigation, housing solutions, and improved architecture.

This touring exhibition is part of a two-year tour through Austria, made possible by a grant from the Department of Building Culture of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Arts, Civil Service and Sport.
