This analysis of collaborative approaches in European urban housing is focused on the Zurich cooperative model. Through transdisciplinary research and the analysis case studies, it highlights the interconnectedness of urban planning, architecture, and national policies.
The study introduces participatory methodologies, emphasizing lived experiences, and investigates the socio-spatial potential of intermediate zones. Analyzing macro- and micro-scale interventions, it showcases the resilience and cohesion introduced by non-monofunctional interventions in the urban fabric. The research identifies potential challenges like gentrification and displacement of low-income groups. Highlighting innovative strategies of Zurich’s new housing cooperatives, it emphasizes the spatial activation of housing for resilience and sustainability. The study underscores the socio-spatial value of participatory housing spaces, particularly during crises like the Covid-19 pandemic, offering insights for future sustainable apartment housing designs.
