📖Research Reads Friday👓 This week's feature research read on The Deck: 'Transforming public housing in Australia: embracing sustainable refurbishment over demolition.' An Australian research paper, published in the journal Urban Research and Practice. 'Australia’s housing crisis has sparked debate over the future of aging public housing, with plans to demolish 44 Melbourne high-rise towers by 2051. While promising more units, this approach risks environmental, social, and economic drawbacks. This paper advocates innovative refurbishment, drawing on international examples like Paris’ Tour Bois-le-Prêtre and Rotterdam’s Splayed Apartment Blocks. It offers planners a cost-effective, incremental solution that supports sustainable, equitable growth.'

Building on our joint report with Community Land Trust Network and Dark Matter Labs on Community-Led Stewardship in the context of large site housing developments, we've written a short piece on the 'Lessons for community leadership in large scale housing in the EU' with initial views on the implications for the forthcoming European #AffordableHousing Plan (EAHP). Europe needs to rapidly increase housing supply. However, experience with large-scale housing developments has shown that the design phase, while crucial, is only half the story. The long-term success of housing developments hinge on effective place stewardship. By giving communities genuine ownership and control, we see enhanced long-term affordability, improved environmental sustainability and increased resident satisfaction. The success of new developments will not just be marked by the number of units built—but how these new developments are managed and stewarded to ensure affordability, sustainability, and community are all long term. Read below, and let us know your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/gban-xQw

Very interesting report by European Community Land Trust Network ... Community-led place stewardship represents a transformative approach to managing housing developments, addressing critical challenges such as sustainability, trust, and affordability. By fostering equitable governance structures, diversifying funding streams, and building local capacity, models like Community Land Trusts (CLTs) demonstrate the potential to create resilient, thriving communities. However, replicating these exemplary models is complex and context-dependent, requiring tailored strategies and significant investment in local engagement and support systems. The report underscores the necessity of local partnerships rooted in mutuality and a clear understanding of value exchange among all stakeholders—communities, policymakers, developers, and local authorities. You need a coalition of the willing to move forward. These partnerships must prioritise shared goals, such as long-term stewardship, ecological resilience, and community wellbeing, while adapting to the unique conditions of each project. Achieving widespread adoption of community-led stewardship requires not only the replication of successful approaches but also the flexibility to innovate within local contexts. This balance between fidelity to proven principles and responsiveness to unique challenges is key to creating sustainable and equitable housing solutions for the future. Dig where you live ...
