HOUSING

Right or Commodity. What is To Be Done?

Under the title »Housing - right or commodity. What is to be done?«, the series of four workshops problematizes the transformation of the political economy of housing for the past two decades. Processes as privatization, gentrification and financialization have led to the commodification of housing, contributing to capital accumulation in parallel with the dispossession of numerous people. We intend to discuss these processes drawing on critical urban theory as well as on a concrete case study in Cluj. The ideological and political stakes of the workshop are to articulate arguments and to identify strategies aimed at de-commodifying housing.

The workshop series is organized within the project »Strengthening the Housing Justice Coalition in Romania through reframing the political claims for public housing« of Desire Foundation (Cluj) in partnership with tranzit.ro/Cluj.

Location: tranzit.ro/Cluj | Date and time: 16^th of March 2017, 6 p.m.

The project is coordinated by Simona Ciotlaus and Noemi Magyari and supported by the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung SEE.
