RE-DWELL Summer School 2 (Valencia)
Published on 22-11-2022
The second RE-DWELL Summer School was held at the Universitat Politècnica de València, from 11 to 15 July 2022. The programme of activities aimed at fostering the exchange of knowledge across early-stage researchers (ESRs), supervisors and non-academic organisations, on the challenges and opportunities in Inclusive co-design and community planning of affordable and sustainable housing.
The theme of the summer school, “Inclusive co-design and community planning of affordable and sustainable housing”, was thus addressed from multiple perspectives including invited speakers from professional practice and academia, local administrations and a local partner organisation. The presentations were followed by insightful group discussions and complemented by site visits to the eco-neighbourhood La Pinada , and to two examples of residential housing built by cooperatives: Santa María Micaela, from the 1960s, and Espai Verd, completed in the early 1990s.
The series of open roundtables that started with the Lisbon workshop in September 2021, has continued with a fourth roundtable dedicated to address the question “How can community participation in the provision of affordable and sustainable housing be guided?”.
