Beschreibung:
Think about a plan for a social housing system in an imaginary country or an existing country of your choice. To implement the plan, you will have a 100 years of time and will receive 1 billion Dollars per year!
Affordable housing is one of the most important issues in development policy. This seminar seeks visions for social housing in the Global South, inspired by cooperative housing and municipal housing companies.
In recent years, Central Europe is celebrating the 150th anniversary of cooperative housing and the 100th anniversary of municipal housing. The Hamburg based Schiffszimmerer Genossenschaft, today the city's largest housing cooperative, was founded in 1875. It has been taking care of housing since 1889. SAGA, Hamburg's municipal housing company, was founded in 1922. It is the largest in the country, although Berlin owns more apartments, but within seven companies. We can find these types of institutions in every major city in Central Europe. What originally began on a small scale in the context of industrialization, great poverty and rapidly growing cities, has steadily developed to a sector that guarantees affordable housing for millions of people. In Hamburg, housing cooperatives and SAGA together own more than 270.000 apartments, which is around 27% of the city's entire housing stock! In Viena, 43% of the housing stock is owned by cooperatives or the municipal housing company.
Poverty, growing cities, industrialization? The context sounds familiar to developing countries? Well, what about their housing policies? Do they meet the demands? Are problems being solved? Might need some help? In this seminar, we will try to get a little closer to that.
