ISBN: 9783868594348 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This stands in stark contrast to the US, where the private market is the primary provider of housing. Vienna's successful model dates back to the days of -Red Vienna, - when the socialist government took an active interest in...
