Current Doctoral Research
| Title: CO-HOUSING: THE CITIZEN’S ALTERNATIVE FOR EQUAL DISTRIBUTION?
Key words: new energy networks, self-management, planning system
Abstract: The project aims to assess the contribution of self-organized ‘housing’ projects to the equality of citizens and the responsible application and distribution of resources. It investigates the increasing presence of- and interest in self-organized housing initiatives in contemporary Europe as an alternative to mainstream urban development. The project is therefore also concerned with a fundamental academic question: that of the interaction between social and spatial dynamics. From a gendered perspective the research aims to further understanding of how spatial planning systems reproduce gender inequalities.
Although self-organized housing initiatives have diverse ideological backgrounds, a common factor is the rupture with dichotomies such as private-public space, waged-domestic labour, individual ownership-common interest and consumption-production. By comparing developments and case studies in different European states, the key-factors that determine the room to develop self-organized housing initiatives can be better identified. The research focuses on the conditions that are created (or missing) within planning systems, energy-networks and housing provision, for citizens to organize and build housing to the specific needs for emancipated and sustainable ‘lifestyles’.
