Workshop: A029 Defending housing - from practical resistance to a housing policy strategy

Focus on rental housing market (Germany, Austria)

Three workshops will take place on the theme “defending housing - from practical resistance to a housing policy strategy.”

Two workshops will take place simulataneously: 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).

In this workshop, which focuses on the rental housing market in Germany and Austria, local forms of protest and resistance and their experiences will be presented. Who are the actors and initiators of these approaches, what are the goals they pursue: from the preservation and defence of affordable housing to the socialisation of housing and land. Do the initiatives also have overarching strategies that strive for resident-oriented rent, housing and land legislation? What are their specific approaches to action and forms of resistance, what have been their successes and failures, and what are the decisive causes?
