Descripción del proyecto
Perspectivas de género de la financierización de la vivienda social
El acervo social es la base sobre la que crecen y prosperan comunidades e individuos. En muchos países, es en gran medida la participación de las mujeres lo que ha sostenido dicho acervo. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos CITY-OF-CARE estudiará la participación de las mujeres en la creación y el uso del acervo social. También investigará si podemos cuestionar las desigualdades del neoliberalismo y contribuir al avance de la agenda de cohesión urbana de la Unión Europea. El proyecto estudiará la situación en Milán y Dublín, centrándose en las implicaciones espaciales y socioeconómicas de la financierización de la vivienda social, que hace de la vivienda un vehículo para la riqueza y la inversión en lugar de un bien social. El proyecto revisará la actividad de género que se desarrolla entre las mujeres y los miembros de su comunidad.
Objetivo
CITY-OF CARE examines the crucial socio-economic and spatial implications of the financialization of social housing (FSH) in two European cities: Milan and Dublin.
Key global processes of financial capital markets and securitization have restructured national property and housing systems, making them increasingly interdependent. Welfare retrenchment, product deregulation and financial liberalization each contributed to a dual process of residualized social housing and the expansion and inflation of the private housing market. However, in the aftermath of the 2008 global economic crisis, new subjectivities and relational strategies by people for people emerged as a coping mechanism to fight the instability and uncertainty of living in poverty.
By linking research, innovation and policy, CITY-OF-CARE analyzes, at the macro level, urban strategies, policies and planning practices to promote equitable and sustainable growth. At the micro level, it looks at the efforts and the organizing that take networks, skills, and resourcefulness to alleviate housing affordability crisis, insecurity, exclusion and segregation imposed on social housing communities.
CITY-OF-CARE takes a “personal network” approach to elicit the dynamics and the relevance of interconnected care providers. Caring as a distinctive, network-based activity is one of the central elements in the survival practices of disadvantaged areas of the city. Yet, it remains a gendered activity that develops between women and their community members under significant structural constraints.
CITY-OF-CARE puts under scrutiny the role of women’s leadership in building and using social capital that can sustain community care and solidarity over the long haul, challenging the inequities of neoliberalism and contributing to the EU urban cohesion agenda advancement.
