Накратко на български

Мрежите за взаимна помощ между жени в бедни градски квартали се анализират през примера с грижата в многопоколенските семейства. Това помага да се разбере как финансовият натиск върху жилищния пазар засилва социалното неравенство и сегрегацията в европейските градове.

Women Caring Networks in Urban Poor Communities: the Gendered Dynamics of Resistance under the Pressure of Financialization

Key global processes of financial capital markets and securitization have restructured national property and housing systems, making them increasingly interdependent. Welfare retrenchment, product deregulation and financial liberalization each contributed to a dual process of residualized social housing and the expansion and inflation of the private housing market. Residualization patterns also prompted the growth of social inequality, segregation and exclusion within European cities, eventually leading to the re-emergence of the housing question as a key political issue. However, despite a growing scholarship, the extent of the financialization of social housing (FSH) in daily lives and its implications for urban communities are poorly understood. A neglected aspect of research on the impact of FSH is to look at community caretaking and informal sharing networks for mutual aid which develop between multigenerational households against the demoralizing effects of marginalization. Caring as a distinctive, network-based activity is one of the central elements in the survival practices of disadvantaged areas of the city. Yet, it remains a gendered activity that develops between women and their community members under significant structural constraints. CITY-OF-CARE explores the dynamics of women’s caring networks for mutual aid which develop between multigenerational households in urban poor communities against the inequities of housing financialization. Consequently, the research objectives (ROs) of CITY-OF-CARE are: #RO1. To investigate FSH in European cities across different socio-political context and welfare regimes. #RO2. To explore how and to what extend women caring networks enhances social capital in urban social housing communities facing severe economic deprivation produced by FSH. #RO3. To develop an innovative social network analysis and novel methods to capture the network of cooperating community members supporting each other for survival. #RO4. To achieve a public policy strategy that effectively promotes the empowerment of disadvantaged local communities and supports gender equality.

Цел на проекта

CITY-OF CARE examines the crucial socio-economic and spatial implications of the financialization of social housing (FSH) in two European cities: Milan and Dublin. Key global processes of financial capital markets and securitization have restructured national property and housing systems, making them increasingly interdependent. Welfare retrenchment, product deregulation and financial liberalization each contributed to a dual process of residualized social housing and the expansion and inflation of the private housing market. However, in the aftermath of the 2008 global economic crisis, new subjectivities and relational strategies by people for people emerged as a coping mechanism to fight the instability and uncertainty of living in poverty. By linking research, innovation and policy, CITY-OF-CARE analyzes, at the macro level, urban strategies, policies and planning practices to promote equitable and sustainable growth. At the micro level, it looks at the efforts and the organizing that take networks, skills, and resourcefulness to alleviate housing affordability crisis, insecurity, exclusion and segregation imposed on social housing communities. CITY-OF-CARE takes a “personal network” approach to elicit the dynamics and the relevance of interconnected care providers. Caring as a distinctive, network-based activity is one of the central elements in the survival practices of disadvantaged areas of the city. Yet, it remains a gendered activity that develops between women and their community members under significant structural constraints. CITY-OF-CARE puts under scrutiny the role of women’s leadership in building and using social capital that can sustain community care and solidarity over the long haul, challenging the inequities of neoliberalism and contributing to the EU urban cohesion agenda advancement.
