	Contemporary trends in development of European cities are firmly bound with shaping of housing policy. One important factor in these actions is the awareness of the local authorities and citizens with regard to quality of the settlements, as well as their sustainable development. Cooperation between the authorities, investors and residents could improve the quality of the space, as well as lives of its inhabitants. The examples of new residential areas in Austria, discussed in this article, prove in how many different directions such actions are taken; how housing policy of Vienna functions with regard to shaping of the public space and how the implementation of Linz SolarCity reaches out to contemporary discussion about sustainable growth of cities.
