European Middle-Class Mass Housing: Past and Present of the Modern Community
The COST Action entitled “European Middle-Class Mass Housing (MCMH-EU)” started in April 2021 with a challenging and compelling goal: creating a transnational and multidisciplinary network to carry out studies on residential buildings and neighbourhoods built for the middle-class in Europe from the 1950s onwards. This far-reaching network aimed to develop new scientific approaches for the study of MCMH while bringing together researchers from different fields and with diverse skills. At the time of the project submission, the MCMH had generally been underestimated in architectural and urban studies. A structured understanding through a comparative analysis and a transnational perspective was thus long overdue. This shortcoming was also evident in the lack of cross-references in transnational publications and scholarly networks. By crossing different approaches, tools, and repositories of sources of Architecture, Urbanism, Planning, History, and Sociology, the MCMH-EU project sought to pave the way for fresh interpretative and methodological frameworks. The COST Action was thus committed to producing narratives that would contribute to a broader understanding of the shaping and diffusion of the MCMH phenomenon, deepening ongoing research and focusing on a set of existing case studies. The methodologies shared by the 117 researchers who joined the project – with different backgrounds, perspectives and lines of research –, along with the surveying, cataloguing, and contextualisation tasks, allowed for an initial mapping of the relevant case studies as well as an assessment of their varying degrees of resilience and their adjustments to current (urban and social) conditions. In the meantime, the project also fostered an understanding of the interaction between spatial forms, social behaviours and inhabitants’ satisfaction by combining architectural analysis and sociological inquiry. The Action CA18137 was developed by three Working Groups: Documenting the MCMH (WG1); Development of a specific set of (new) concepts ...
