320 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

For years, we have been observing an increase in housing shortage in Europe, to which the public sector has so far failed to respond adequately. At the same time, there has been a steady growth in grassroots initiatives developing non-speculative community-led housing while joining forces across Europe. This edited collection focuses on the translocal networks interlinking these grassroots movements and explores their social innovations to support alternative imaginaries of housing and structures of solidarity. The book thus provides the first comprehensive overview of translocal grassroots housing networks in Europe and the housing models they propagate (including new co-operatives and community land trusts), while undertaking international in-depth analyses. It is arranged along inter- and transdisciplinary lines: In addition to researchers from the fields of human geography, housing studies, sociology, architecture and anthropology, the authors include practitioners from the NGO sector and grassroots activists.
