KurzbeschreibungWird im HS209 nicht angeboten.t
LernzielAcquisition of theoretical knowledge on the specific housing issues, challenges, and strategies in the Global South.
The aim of this course is to sensitize students to the specific urban development and housing challenges of the countries of the Global South. This area of ​​the world concentrates most of the future urbanization as well as the current development problems (poverty, housing shortage, informal settlements, etc.). The specific goal is to invite students to explore the issue of adequate housing in real contexts where technical feasibility, affordability and institutional capacity are important constraints to design practice.
InhaltCore issues tackled in the lecture series:
(i) The global scale of the housing challenges,
(ii) A historical overview of affordable housing strategies
(iii) Global Housing Policies, the role of UN Habitat and other international agencies
(iv) The advantages and disadvantages of public sector housing (case studies),
(v) Opportunities and challenges of self-help and incremental housing,
(vi) Slum upgrading and participation,
(vii) The urban embedding of housing strategies
(viii) The development of strategic approaches, etc.
SkriptA course overview including lecture summaries is made available to inscribed students prior the start of the semester.
LiteraturA literature reader with relevant texts is made available to inscribed students prior the start of the semester.

By combining theory and practice, they will learn to apply them to a specific context and research question. In order to bring students in close contact with current topics of housing research and first-hand use of spatial research methodologies, the course will provide inputs to an on-going research project carried out by four academic institutes across Europe. “Public Spaces: Culture and Integration in Europe”, explores the publicness of shared spaces in different housing estates and the potential role they could play in sustaining European integration by developing and encouraging diverse cultures not merely to coexist, but to enrich and inspire each other. Understanding public space as the continuous interplay between people and places through the concept of publicness (Varna and Tiesdell 2010; Tornaghi 2015), during this course, methodological exercises will be carried out through fieldwork in two housing estates -Telli in Aarau and Tscharnergut in Bern. -and will seek to answer the following questions:

Where does public space take place? How does it emerge? Who participates?

Furthermore, students will apply these research methods in fieldwork carried out during the seminar week and finally introduce them into their individual research for their final thesis.
SkriptA reader will be distributed at the beginning of the semester containing an overview of all lectures, the involved exercises, and required readings.

KurzbeschreibungIn Europe, the overburden of housing costs affect 10% of the population who spend more than 40% of their household disposable income on housing. As affordable housing has become the most pressing issue for most countries across the continent, the urgency in finding new strategies to overcome the housing crisis are at the forefront of the current housing debate.
LernzielIn this module participants will not only learn about the housing challenges different European countries are facing, but will also have the opportunity to engage actively with relevant stakeholders and inhabitants, visit projects, and develop a critical understanding of the historical, socio-economic and political context of housing policies and strategies, with particular reference to the Swiss housing cooperative model.
InhaltHousing may be considered as one of the most daunting challenges of urbanisation globally. It is estimated that the struggle to obtain adequate and affordable housing could affect at least 1.6 billion people globally within a decade. In Europe, the overburden of housing costs affect 10% of the population who spend more than 40% of their household disposable income on housing. As affordable housing has become the most pressing issue for most countries across the continent, the urgency in finding new strategies to overcome the housing crisis are at the forefront of the current housing debate.

In a global context characterised by governmental withdrawal from the housing sector, the commodification of housing, and the inability of the private sector to cater to the needs of low-income people, housing cooperatives are being rediscovered as a third way in the provision of affordable housing. Identifying the opportunities and challenges of scaling up housing cooperatives in different socio-economic, political and cultural contexts is thus of pivotal importance when approaching housing issues. The Swiss housing cooperative model is widely renowned and has been advocated globally as best practices specially for its important role in the participatory provision of non-commodifiable housing, architectural innovation, and the development of socially inclusive and sustainable neighbourhoods.

In this module participants will not only learn about the housing challenges different European countries are facing, but will also have the opportunity to engage actively with relevant stakeholders and inhabitants, visit projects, and develop a critical understanding of the historical, socio-economic and political context of housing policies and strategies, with particular reference to the Swiss housing cooperative model. The module includes lectures targeting exclusively the MAS students to be held either at ETH or in the premises of collaborating partners and a series of public lectures.
SkriptA reader will be distributed at the beginning of the semester containing an overview of all lectures, the involved exercises, and required readings.

KurzbeschreibungWith focus on the Global South, this lecture series will focus on the causes and the consequences of the lack of adequate and affordable housing, on governmental and non-governmental initiatives to overcome the housing crisis, and on the strategies that individuals and communities pursue to meet their need for shelter when formal housing is not accessible to them.
LernzielWith particular reference to Asia and Latin America, the lectures will focus on the causes and the consequences of the lack of adequate and affordable housing, on governmental and non-governmental initiatives to overcome the housing crisis, and on the strategies that individuals and communities pursue to meet their need for shelter when formal housing is not accessible to them.
InhaltWith particular reference to the Global South, this module focuses on some of the causes and consequences of the housing crisis and on the key challenges to providing adequate, secure and affordable housing. The module consists of a weekly lecture to be complemented with mandatory readings. We start by reflecting upon the meaning of adequate housing with reference to the seven criteria that according to the International Covenant for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights define this concept: security of tenure, availability of services, materials, facilities and infrastructure, affordability, habitability, accessibility, location, and cultural adequacy. These criteria clearly show that the adequacy of housing needs to be analysed with reference to its broader socio-economic, cultural, political and environmental context. With particular reference to Asia and Latin America, the lectures will focus on the causes and the consequences of the lack of adequate and affordable housing, on governmental and non-governmental initiatives to overcome the housing crisis, and on the strategies that individuals and communities pursue to meet their need for shelter when formal housing is not accessible to them.
It further focuses on the role of housing policies and built environment professionals, in making adequate housing affordable through various strategies, such as conventional social housing, aided self-help housing and cooperative housing. As part of this module students will also analyse the housing challenges and strategies of a particular country case and explore potential solutions through practical exercises.
SkriptA reader will be distributed at the beginning of the semester containing an overview of all lectures, the involved exercises, and required readings.
