Cooperative Housing and Effects to Urban Planning

Cooperative and collaborative self-organized housing and initiatives still make up a small part of housing provision in many  cities. Although they enable long-term cost-effective, participatory, and ecological housing models. It can be assumed that these initiatives represent a benefit to their urban environment, urban spaces and the wider neighbourhood. The research investigates interrelationships of (egalitarian) urban development and cooperative and collaborative housing and explores positive as well as negative effects on housing policies, urban development, and urban spaces. The research focus deals with the actors, conditions of emergence, and mechanisms of collaborative housing projects and housing cooperatives. The research dwells on these questions in inter-and transdisciplinary research collaborations and projects. Further projetcs within different research collaborations are in the process of grant applications.
