Prymak Amid the splendours of the Vatican Museum in Rome, amongst the lush and abundant canvases of Raphael and other great artists, hangs an exceptionally large painting depicting the defeat of the last great invasion of Europe by the Turks: the relief of the 1683 siege of Vienna by a coalition of Christian forces led by the king of Poland, John III, also known as Jan Sobieski.1 Sobieski was the last king of Poland to attempt to restore his country’s power and glory before the steady decline and final disappearance of that state in the late eighteenth century, and he is written into the early modern history of Europe as the man who symbolized the repulse of that power- ful Ottoman attempt to conquer Europe, or, as it was seen then, the last Muslim invasion of Christendom. Though afterwards, historians would dispute who truly deserved credit for this impressive Christian victory over the armies of Islam, with several historians, Austrian and others, giving primary credit to one or another of the Austrian commanders, there is no doubt that Sobieski stood at the head of the multinational relief force, 1 Jan Matejko, Jan Sobieski, King of Poland, Defeats the Turks at the Gates of Vienna, oil on linen (485x894 cm), Sobieski Room, Vatican Palaces.

Here’s how Vienna turned a series of major economic and geopolitical challenges to its advantage. Introduction In the mid-1980s, when Vienna presented its first urban development plan, the city government expected the population to decline and foresaw serious challenges for its urban economy. However, geopolitical transformations prompted a fresh wave of immigration to Vienna, so the city needed to adapt fast and develop new initiatives. A new spirit of urban development emerged. Vienna’s remarkable migration-driven growth took place in three phases: • first, the population grew rapidly between 1989 and 1993 • then it grew again between 2000 and 2006 • and finally from 2010 until today the population has been growing steadily and swiftly, by on average around 22,000 people per year • This means an addition of nearly 350,000 inhabitants since 1989.
