Mainstreaming Collaborative Housing. A framework to analyse temporal and vectorial variations in actor and user involvement

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Increasingly, collaborative housing models are upscaled, institutionalized and new governance and finance arrangements are formed. These ‘hybrid’ collective housing projects, to be situated in between mainstream housing and emerging collaborative housing projects, are subject to varying degrees of actors’ power and control. This paper further develops the conceptual framework of Sudiyono (2013) and Czischke (2018), visualizing the relationship between users, institutional actors, and housing providers, with the addition of a temporal and vectorial component, allowing for a differentiation of actor involvement throughout the development process. The temporal and vectorial dimensions are particularly important when evaluating responsibilities of residents and civil society actors in the development process of collaborative housing projects. The paper shows how the framework can be used to interpret and communicate changes within housing development schemes and indicates how housing and land policy can play a pivotal role in facilitating and regulating the emergence of mainstream collective housing schemes. Drawing upon developments in Amsterdam, Hamburg and Copenhagen, the extended framework allows to critically assess the changing roles and circumstances within housing projects and their role in addressing challenges in urban housing markets.
