“…Alexandri, 2018;Jover & Diaz-Parra, 2020;Tulumello & Allegretti, 2021). However, patterns of politicisation have been quite different, with Portugal and Spain being exemplary cases of the global trends of re-politicisation: social movements managed to frame housing as a national problem, ultimately forcing institutions to implement policy responses (see, e.g., de Andrés & Smith, 2019;Tulumello & Mendes, 2022). 2 Why has Italy had a peculiar, if not absent, re-politicisation of housing vis-à-vis Southern European and global trends?…”

During the last 15 years, amid the global impacts of the economic crisis, austerity politics, and increasing centrality of real estate and construction for capitalism, housing has taken central stage in public and political debates globally. In Italy, the trajectory of housing politicisation has been quite peculiar. Despite a longstanding tradition of housing conflict and a complex geography of new mobilisations, housing has remained at the margins of national discussions. Seen through the lens of Foucauldian problematisation analysis, housing has not been acknowledged as a ‘problem’ in Italy. This article engages with the Italian peculiarity through a comparative study of housing problematisation—operationalised through the dimensions of framing, coalitions and scale. I compare two cities where analogous challenges intersect with very different housing regimes and political contexts: in Turin, the capacity of short-term housing policies to address pressing problems is mirrored by a lack of engagement by institutional and politicised actors; in Naples, in a housing regime defined by informal solutions, the relations among the local authorities and social movements have oscillated among dialogue, conflict, institutionalisation and pacification. By putting these cases in conversation through a generative, relational and multi-scalar lens, I discuss housing problematisation in a country, Italy, characterised by deep regional asymmetries, regionally-specific housing regimes and a complex geography of housing conflict. By reconsidering the national case vis-à-vis broader dynamics, in conclusion, I also provide some takeaways for a reflection on the conditions, preconditions and efforts for scaling up the housing struggle.

“…Las estrategias financieras y el mercado inmobiliario -que entra en crisis en el año 2008 -ha dibujado un proceso de financiarización de la vivienda que se está dando a nivel global y que ha precarizado masivamente a los sectores más vulnerables que se han visto sometidos a un proceso de sobreendeudamiento y exclusión (Rolnik, 2018;Jiménez Romera y Fernández Ramírez, 2014;Álvarez et al, 2019). En el caso español, esto se ve reflejado en la oleada de lanzamientos tanto por impago de alquiler como por impago de hipotecas causado por la entrada masiva de fondos de inversión que se han apropiado del mercado inmobiliario (Naredo, 2010;Gabarre, 2019).…”

“…La crisis que se está dando en el acceso a una vivienda y las luchas actuales por dicho derecho a nivel global, se encuadran en un proceso sociopolítico y financiero inmobiliario que ha sido favorecido e impulsado por una serie de políticas estatales que han convertido a la vivienda en un elemento clave de extracción de renta, ganancia financiera y acumulación de capital, que ha dejado a miles de familias sin hogar y amenaza con vulnerar el derecho a la vivienda de muchas otras (Álvarez et al, 2019;Rolnik, 2018;Jiménez Romera y Fernández Ramírez, 2014).…”

Resumen El incremento de la demanda de vivienda en régimen de alquiler tras la crisis del 2008, junto a la entrada de fondos de inversión, provocó el alza de los precios y supuso un aumento de los lanzamientos por impago de alquiler. La situación provocada por el Covid-19 le dio a la vivienda un papel significativo, evidenciado la precariedad del inquilinato frente al acceso a una vivienda. Este artículo analiza en qué medida las políticas y prácticas llevadas a cabo por los distintos actores en relación a la vivienda en régimen de alquiler han contribuido a promover la (in)justicia socioespacial, y cómo esta se ha visto afectada por la pandemia. Para ello, se ha elaborado un marco analítico basado en la teoría critica de justicia social de Nancy Fraser que se ha aplicado a tres casos de estudio. Se concluye que la vivienda en régimen de alquiler tiene un enorme potencial para asegurar el derecho a una vivienda digna y, por tanto, promover la redistribución de recursos, sin embargo, esto no ocurrirá si no hay reconocimiento previo en los discursos y representación equitativa en la toma de decisiones de todos los actores. Abstract The increase in the demand for rental housing after the 2008 crisis, together with the entry of investment funds, caused prices to rise and led to an increase in evictions due to non-payment of rent. The situation caused by Covid-19 gave housing a significant role, evidencing the precariousness of tenancy as opposed to access to housing. This article analyzes to what extent the policies and practices carried out by different actors in relation to rental housing have contributed to promote socio-spatial (in)justice, and how this has been affected by the pandemic. To this end, an analytical framework based on Nancy Fraser's critical social justice theory has been developed and applied to three case studies. It’s concluded that rental housing has an enormous potential to ensure the right to decent housing and therefore promote the redistribution of resources, however, this will not happen if there is no prior recognition in the discourses and equitable representation in decision-making of all actors.
