Short presentation
The work with my dissertation, which started fall of 2020, aims to explore alternative, non-profit modes of organising for, financing and producing housing on a large scale in Sweden and by so doing dealing with the housing crisis – both when it comes to supply and cost.
The dissertation has four primary foci, the political and historical context from which civil-society initiatives for housing production emerge, politics and ideology, urban activism, and organisation and financing.
