Municipalism in practice. Housing policies in European cities

In recent years, thanks to the strength of new municipalisms, social movements and several research projects, new strategies for the social orientation of urban policy have been discussed. These aim to promote more democratic and inclusive procedures as part of local government programs.

Since the strength of social movements and the scope of urban policy are very much determined by local conditions, we examine the introduction and implementation of some of these new housing policy instruments in four cities: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin and Vienna.
