Spatial planning for cooperative housing. A case study in Maria Auxiliadora, Cochabamba, Bolivia. ; Planering för kooperativa bostadsområden. Fallstudie i Maria Auxiliadora, Cochabamba, Bolivia.
Lack of housing is a problem in Bolivia, migrations from rural areas to towns causes problems in the fast growing cities. Since urban planning does not have the resources to keep up with the need for housing many settlements are illegal and often lead to a land use conflict. In some cities large parts of the population live in spontaneous settlements, often in areas planned for another use of land. In Cochabamba the number of inhabitants has grown rapidly, particularly in the past few decades. Many of the immigrants are low-income people who search housing in areas accessible to their incomes. Low-income groups search housing through illegal establishment in peripheral zones. The high housing costs in most of the districts of the city make housing provided through legal conditions unaffordable for them. In Cochabamba the expansion takes place in the outskirts of the city and the land use conflict is about the conflict between land set aside for agriculture purpose and illegal settlements. In focus for our study has been the area Maria Auxiliadora in District 9, Cochabamba. A group of women got together with a wish to build houses of their own. The area is situated on a hillside in an area for agricultural use but on a piece of land not suitable for this use because of the steep and rocky terrain. There are several non governmental organizations involved with a common ambition to build a cooperative housing area. Cooperative housing is a new experience in Bolivia which could be a beginning of a new way of thinking and a new way to solve the housing problem in the country. There is a growing interest, both from the government and from people that need land for housing, of this new form of living. The Bolivian cooperative housing program is formed out of a concept used in Uruguay. In this study we focus on spatial planning issues for cooperative housing. Through spatial planning we demonstrate how housing areas can be planned in the future with focus on cooperative thinking and living. The project area, Maria ...
