Introduction

Participatory culture and initiatives have been a growing phenomenon in urban development for years: Residents take part in the development of neighbourhoods and pilot projects, demand and assume responsibility by appropriating urban space. Thus, the city is experiencing a bottom-up movement rather than a mixing principle imposed from above à la the ban on luxury redevelopment or quota regulations.
The model of the building groups shows an example of how one can circumvent the high-priced investor projects in the housing market with one’s own house projects in owner-occupied housing. But what is happening in the rental housing market? Does there have to be a new social housing construction or will we otherwise soon be confronted with the phenomenon of “gated communities” even in Europe? What could an urban-compatible “social mix” look like and how can it be achieved? What can architects contribute and what can politics contribute?
