Tracing cooperative housing in Egypt.
fallstudienbasierte sozialräumliche Bewertung des Wandels der kooperativen Wohnformen im Großraum Kairo
case-study-based socio-spatial assessment of changing cooperative housing practices in greater Cairo region
Cooperative housing is right in the centre of the proliferating discourse of alternative housing provision, especially in the context of the current housing shortage debates in large cities. Cooperative housing enables access to adequate housing and promises various socio-spatial qualities for its members to control their own built environment in the hope of fulfilling their needs and improving their quality of life. The renewed interest in understanding the complexity of such housing delivery channel requires tracing the evolution history of cooperative housing in different local contexts. It is also essential to question which shared principles and ethics are devoted to this housing model. The wide-ranging inquiry into the field of cooperative housing and its history mainly takes place in the Global North (LaFond and Tsvetkova 2012; Ring 2015; Becker et al. 2015). However, cooperative housing is also part of the history of housing provision in the Global South, yet it still remains an understudied topic on this side of the world. Egypt is one of the leading countries in cooperative housing in the Global South. In a case-study-based assessment, this study investigates cooperative housing in the metropolitan city of Cairo, after tracing its historical evolution in Egypt since 1908. The thesis proposes a new analytical framework of socio-spatial assessment defined by the aspects of the built environment and governance. It examines the housing situation in Egypt, frames the status quo of cooperative housing and defines a method to better understand how the different cooperative stakeholders correlate on the socio-spatial and governing levels. Conceptually embedded in the global concept of cooperative housing, the main question posed by this thesis is how the dynamically changing context of the Egyptian Housing Crisis is affecting cooperative housing practices and what is the role of cooperative housing in contemporary Egypt. Answering this question, the performance of cooperative housing, its impact on the built environment and the relationship with cooperative members and stakeholders are unfolded. The planning and governing processes and their challenges are analysed; firstly, in a juxtaposed case-study-based analysis, then within the Egyptian local housing context, and finally presenting a number of learned lessons for a global debate on cooperative housing.
