Summary

Three workshops will take place on “Defending housing - from practical resistance to housing policy strategy.”

Two workshops will take place simultaneously: The first deals with the rental housing market in Germany and Austria (A029) and the second with owner-occupied housing using the examples of France, Spain and Italy (A031).

The third workshop is about the preconditions and keys to success of housing movements, the networking of forms of resistance, and the opportunities for system change (A032).

Description

This workshop is about overarching preconditions and success factors of housing movements as well as the interconnectedness of forms of resistance and opportunities for system change. In which cities and in which housing estates is resistance taking place? With what common or different results? Where is there a networking of forms of resistance and initiatives? Has this increased the effectiveness of resistance? Is there networking with initiatives and activities in other problem areas (labour, health care, climate, etc.)? Does this aim toward systemic change?
