Bricks for a New Social Housing

The research project analyses the current search movements of city governments and civil society initiatives for concepts of new social housing. The research project focuses on case-study analyses of numerous initiatives and projects that develop and test models for new social housing. It is important to understand socially not only in the sense of affordable, but also in the sense of collectivity and communality. The importance of mutual assistance in everyday life is increasing, because the economization of many areas of life and the reduction of social welfare are forcing larger sections of the population to reduce their living costs.
