Abstract: This paper presents a periodized overview of two centuries of urban planning in Vienna, providing an entry point for scholars approaching the city from an historically informed perspective. It begins with introducing a way of systematizing and periodizing stable formations and transitions of a time- and place-specific configuration of urban planning. Combining the ASID heuristic with an Historical-Institutionalist and Strategic-Relational-Institutionalist perspective, it depicts the following planning phases in Vienna: Capitalist Land Management (1829–1858), Urban Design (1858–1919), Social Planning (1919–1934), Fascist Planning (1934–1945), Modernist Expert Planning (1945–1972), Comprehensive Planning (1972–2000), and Strategic Management (since 2000). To conclude, the paper debates the value of periodized planning history for planning research, planning practice, and comparative planning history.
