ABSTRACT

The housing policy of Barcelona, the Plan for the Right to Housing (2015–2020), implemented by the anti-austerity local government of Barcelona en Comú, relates closely to degrowth imaginaries and norms. It incorporates vacant housing to the public housing stock, develops a special unit for attending evictions and other residential emergencies, and introduces support for promising yet marginal tenure forms such as co-housing or leasehold estate. However, a critical analysis of this policy reveals strong contradictions and limitations. Given the existing uneven socio-spatial dynamics of a global city such as Barcelona, the well-established power relations in the production of urban space, and the still-dominant discourse of austerity, the local government’s actions remain precarious. However, albeit both promising and contradictory, Barcelona’s housing policy proves to be a useful case for developing degrowth planning principles and tools for urban housing policy and beyond.

摘要

巴塞罗那的住房政策，住房权计划（2015-2020 年），由Barcelona en Comú的反紧缩地方政府实施，与退化想象和规范密切相关。它将空置住房纳入公共住房存量，开发了一个特殊单位来处理驱逐和其他住宅紧急情况，并为有前途但边缘的土地使用权形式提供支持，例如共同住房或租赁房地产。然而，对该政策的批判性分析揭示了强烈的矛盾和局限性。鉴于巴塞罗那等全球城市现有的不平衡社会空间动态、城市空间生产中完善的权力关系以及紧缩政策仍然占主导地位，地方政府的行动仍然不稳定。然而，尽管既有希望也有矛盾，巴塞罗那的住房政策被证明是一个有用的案例，可用于制定城市住房政策及其他方面的退化规划原则和工具。
