Comparative analysis report: Reconceptualising the right to housing in crises (WP7)

The comparative report brings together the findings from Athens, Barcelona and Glasgow to explore how the right to housing is being reshaped across a continuum of crises. Drawing on timelines of struggles, interviews with activists and tenants, and mapping of key actors, it traces how financialisation, touristification, austerity, asylum and the cost-of-living crisis have reconfigured everyday housing insecurity in each city. At the same time, it highlights common threads in housing movements’ responses – from feminised labour and mutual aid practices that sustain households, to anti-racist organising against “everyday bordering”, and emerging ecological claims for warm, safe and energy-efficient homes. By reading these three cases side by side, the report points to both shared patterns and crucial differences, offering a grounded, translocal perspective on what it means to claim the right to housing today.
