Project: Collaborative Housing in a Pandemic Era: cross-country inter- and transdisciplinary evaluation, innovative approaches, human rights-based policy recommendations and capacity building
| Acronym | CO-HOPE / Collaborative Housing in a Pandemic Era (Reference Number: F-ENUTC-2021-0273) |
| Project Topic | The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed that the failure to guarantee the right to adequate housing has had major consequences during this global crisis in Europe. CO-HOPE is a response to this health, housing and social crisis. CO-HOPE focuses on carrying out applied research through a mixed methods evaluation of the resilience and transformative capacities of collaborative housing projects and inhabitants in five European countries (Obj. 1,2), co-creating participatory design approaches for future housing development (Obj. 3), generating recommendations for policymakers, (Obj. 4) and implementing an international capacity building programme on collaborative housing that tackles the affordability- integration-health nexus (Obj. 5). CO-HOPE has an inter- and transdisciplinary approach, incorporating complementary forms of knowledge through cooperation between academics and practice partners. To foster urban transformation capacities, Non-Profit Organizations active in international policy advocacy for adequate housing and the right to the city as well as Universities with extensive experience in conducting capacity-building programmes through international cooperation are leading specific work packages. The potential-oriented recommendations for policymakers and capacity building activities are expected to contribute to a shift in housing provision towards community-led projects that foster sustainable urban development. |
