It brings to center stage the history of those social groups who, together, constituted the less privileged, disadvantaged majority of the population - 'the many': working and lower-class people, newly immigrating urban dwellers, women, and people minoritized with reference to ethnic or other belongings (ascribed to them). Important layers of the history of Vienna as history of the many can be captured by studying three large themes: the engagement of municipal authorities and other actors with daily needs and cultural desires of majority populations in a large and grow-ing city; politics, practices, and experiences of difference and exclusion; social movements and everyday practices aimed at advancing needs and interests of the many.
