“…Mattei and Quarta (2015) provide the example of an abandoned factory in Pisa, Italy, that was occupied and transformed into a library, tailor, school for migrants, nursery school, bicycle mechanic, farmers market, restaurant, and gym. Denmark’s “Freetown” of Christiania is another example, where housing-stressed families occupied an unused military base and built their own housing (Wasshede, 2017). Where communities feel that the state or private owner is not caring for a space, they occupy it, reasserting a more localized control and challenging the state by evoking “squatter’s rights” through “temporary use” laws.…”

Hardin was wrong. There was not a tragedy of overuse. The Commons were dismantled by the state to make room for the formal economy and higher income user groups. I revisit the history of the Commons as a central, planned space in cities in order to ask two main questions. First, what role did the Commons play for cities and how is its lost felt? Second, how might planning reintroduce the Commons? In response, this research builds a functional theory of self-sufficiency at multiple scales of governance based on the opportunities of the Commons. The conclusion charts an urgent agenda for planning practice during a global population phase shift as cities increasingly house a greater proportion of humanity.

“…In challenging the privatised dwelling, a more participatory approach to housing also suggests cultivating 'public time', in sharing spaces, time, and the work involved in upholding home and daily life as a collective engagement (Jarvis 2011). More collaborative forms of living might also challenge traditional household configurations and gender norms (as explored by among others Vestbro and Horelli 2012), with the potential to renegotiate social relations and aspects of for example child-rearing as part of a common undertaking (Wasshede 2017).…”

Housing for Degrowth

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Home constitutes a key part of the everyday, the mundane and familiar, but also provides a basis for our aspirations and visions of what kind of life we wish to lead -and by extension, what kind of society we construct. How we construct home (physically, socially, and cognitively), as part of how we conceive our relation to society and the planet, has significant implications for the social and environmental impact of residential development.A critical understanding of the domestic, and the potential of the everyday, has been recognised in calls for both local and society-wide transitions from a perspective of the 'home front' (Gibson-Graham 1993;Astyk 2013), and proposes going beyond the four walls of the private dwelling to acknowledge the diverse transformative practices needed to challenge dominant norms and lock-ins. The perspective put forward in this chapter emphasises housing for degrowth as rejecting Western bourgeois and consumerist representations of home, and instead presents alternative housing practices, with examples from Sweden, which challenge a high-consuming culture of indebtedness and neoliberalisation of housing, and that reimagine home as a collaborative, decommodified and feminist engagement with people and place, and as a node for transitions to a low-impact society. Finding homeThe notion of home has been a well-explored topic in Western poetry, music and literature throughout the last centuries. Just one of many examples is the stanza from the early 19 th century song "Home, Sweet Home" by American lyricist John Howard Payne: "Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, be it ever so humble, there's no place like home."

Mehrgenerationenwohnen (MGW) gewinnt vor dem Hintergrund des demografischen Wandels bei gleichzeitiger Individualisierung und Transformation von Familien- und Fürsorgestrukturen an gesellschaftlicher Relevanz. Aus einer feministischen Perspektive schaut der Aufsatz entlang dreier MGW-Projekte auf die intersubjektiven Beziehungen und geht den Fragen nach, wie Fürsorge in den Gruppen verhandelt wird und inwiefern sich dort neue Formen kollektiver städtischer Reproduktion ausbilden. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass MGW-Projekte als selbst gewählte fürsorgliche Nachbarschaften fungieren, die in ihrem Verhältnis zwischen Nähe und Distanz, in der alltäglichen Lebensführung ihrer Bewohner_innen und der Organisation ihres Projektalltags sowie in ihren Aushandlungs- und Entscheidungsstrukturen zwischen Fürsorge und Absicherung changieren. Ausgehend vom empirischen Material schlagen wir daher vor, einen weiten Begriff von Fürsorge durch die Kategorie Absicherung zu konkretisieren.
