Participatory Housing Conference

Social scientists and architects from five institutions presented the results of a three-year research project at the Participatory Housing conference on Friday. The multidisciplinary team has been researching participatory forms of housing at home and abroad since 2021 and has been looking at the possibilities and limits of their greater spread in the Czech Republic. The research has helped identify the challenges that this form of housing faces in the Czech context, and above all has shown that an innovative approach to housing with an emphasis on participation of residents and local governments brings the benefit of more affordable and socially sustainable housing when set up well.
