Description du projet
Perspectives genrées sur la financiarisation du logement social
Le capital social est la base sur laquelle les communautés et les individus peuvent croître et prospérer. Dans de nombreux pays, c’est en grande partie la participation des femmes qui a soutenu le capital social. Le projet CITY-OF-CARE, financé par l’UE, étudiera la participation des femmes à la construction et à l’utilisation du capital social. Il examinera également comment contester les inégalités du néolibéralisme et contribuer à l’avancement du programme de cohésion urbaine de l’UE. Le projet étudiera la situation à Milan et à Dublin en se concentrant sur les implications socio-économiques et spatiales de la financiarisation du logement social qui font du logement un vecteur de richesse et d’investissement plutôt qu’un bien social. Le projet examinera l’activité sexospécifique qui se développe entre les femmes et les membres de leur communauté.
Objectif
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.
