The 17th Vienna Architecture Congress is dedicated to two key phenomena in the urban development of southeast Europe that have accompanied the dissolution of the socialist economic system: the extensive informal development, which represents a new form of urbanisation, as well as the prestige projects required by every town or city if they are to participate in the global competition for star architecture. Architects, urbanists and experts from a range of cities in southeastern Europe pursue these phenomena in the largely unregulated processes of urban transformation, and discuss the suitability for the future of the individual models with a focus on the \'worldwide economic crisis\'.
