Rethinking Intergenerational Housing
Rethinking intergenerational housing This summary has been published following a year-long grant-funded research project to rethink intergenerational housing. Our goal has been to explore whether and how people of all ages and backgrounds can live independent lives in housing that supports the sharing of skills, knowledge and experience. These following pages outline our findings; if you want to find out more, please get in touch. An project by with Index An project by with People are increasingly living isolated lives; a key way to tackle this is to build housing that brings together social benefit, design and management. Housing in the UK is highly segregated, inflexible and often unsuitable, creating 1. Social benefit emerging crises in special needs and care, affordability and loneliness. These have major impacts on people’s health, increasing costs for society. The term intergenerational housing has been widely used to describe schemes that bring together younger and older people to share activities and to socialise. They have been found to deliver great benefits through ousin tackling isolation, but tend to be ad-hoc and encounter practical difficulties. Our aim has been to learn from these examples and to rethink how they could work as part of a strategic option for mainstream housing. 2. Dsin 3. Management The key to this is to consider social benefit, design and management together at the outset. This research was made possible by Innovate UK and a range of partnering housing and policy organisations.

Making Space
Alternative radical histories and campaigns continuing today. Sam Burgum November 2018 Property ownership is not a given, but a social and legal construction, with a specific history. Magna Carta (1215) established a legal precedent for protecting property owners from arbitrary possession by the state. ‘For a man’s home is his ASS Archives ASS castle, and each man’s home is his safest refuge’ - Edward Coke, 1604 Charter of the Forest (1217) asserted the rights of the ‘commons’ (i.e. propertyless) to access the 143 royal forests enclosed since 1066. Enclosure Acts (1760-1870) enclosed 7million acres of commons through 4000 acts of parliament. My land – a squatter fable A man is out walking on a hillside when suddenly John Locke (1632-1704) Squatting & Trespass Context in Trespass & Squatting the owner appears. argued that enclosure could ‘Get off my land’, he yells. only be justified if: ‘Who says it’s your land?’ demands the intruder. • ‘As much and as good’ ‘I do, and I’ve got the deeds to prove it.’ was left to others; ‘Well, where did you get it from?’ ‘From my father.’ • Unused property could be ‘And where did he get it from?’ forfeited for better use. ‘From his father. He was the seventeenth Earl. The estate originally belonged to the first Earl.’ This logic was used to ‘And how did he get it?’ dispossess indigenous people ‘He fought for it in the War of the Roses.’ of land, which appeared Right – then I’ll fight you for it!’ ‘unused’ to European settlers. 1 ‘England is not a Free people till the poor that have no land… live as Comfortably as the landlords that live in their inclosures.’ Many post-Civil war movements and sects saw the execution of King Charles as ending a centuries-long Norman oppression. -
Org Ayuntamiento
Desde hace ya cinco años, Madrid cuenta con un Festival Internacional de Documentales que atrae a un gran número de espectadores y es, a la vez, foro y lugar de encuentro para los profesionales del género. Un género, el cine de no ficción, que abarca una enorme variedad de propuestas, desde las puramente estéticas e innovadoras, hasta las que promueven enfoques de mayor calado, que evidencian las más variadas realidades sociales, culturales, artísticas o medioambientales. 6 En su edición de 2008, y como ya es habitual, Documenta tiene su principal foco de interés en su Sección Oficial. En ella, junto a las proyecciones de películas en sus dos formatos, corto y largometraje, en los que prima la originalidad, habrá un concurso de reportajes, que valorará especialmente el tratamiento y la presencia de la actualidad. Pero, además, el festival se nutrirá de sus siempre enriquecedoras secciones informativas. En ellas, destaca el homenaje a la figura de Michelangelo Antonioni, el enigmático cineasta, escritor y pintor italiano, célebre autor de la trilogía La aventura, La noche y El eclipse, que tanto dio que hablar a los cinéfilos españoles a comienzos de los sesenta, y sorprendente creador, más tarde, de Blow-up. Antonioni fue un gran innovador del cine y cultivó el género documental, a pesar de que su obra en este campo es prácticamente desconocida. Para tratar de rescatar del olvido esta valiosa faceta, se proyectarán algunos de sus trabajos. Muy vinculado a la mejor etapa de Antonioni, se ha programado también otro ciclo retrospectivo, Recuerdos del 68, con películas que evocarán los movimientos sociales y políticos del período, así como los sucesos de Mayo del 68 en París, coincidiendo con su 40 aniversario. -

Download at Christie Books for £1.50: 36 the Brief Summer of Anarchy
“And yet Barcelona in those years, rather than what was done on the battlefields, was a brief revelation of something latent but dazzling in humanity: the hope to fly like angels. We, or our children, will see it again. In Barcelona and Catalonia, this epiphany was released by anarchists and anarcho-syndicalists.” Issue 10 of D.i.Y.Culture, is a homage to the class warriors of the Anarchist Revolution that started in Spain in July 1936. This was an insurrection that involved millions of anarchists and as Orwell witnessed, ‘put the working class firmly in the saddle’. An event that challenged the authority of the state, that fought fascism tooth and claw, that erased the power of the cops, that banished landlordism and overpowered organised crime-gangs, that literally burned the centuries of oppression of the Catholic church and was the largest experiment in radical, direct democracy in the history of the world - a social upheaval that had the potential to be a turning point in the history of human-kind. But this was too much of a threat to the ruling classes of the world, to the dog-eat-dog economics of capitalism and to the so-called communism of the USSR – the crushing and betrayal of this people’s revolution in Spain, was ruthless. Funded and supplied, by (among other states) the USA, the UK and the Vatican and supported militarily by Italy and Germany. A shocking, wasted opportunity to deal with Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and fascism – an appeasement that led directly to the Second World War, to the deaths and deprivation of millions and to the future direction of militarised global politics. -
Rr Directory Body 2004.Pub
Radical Routes Directory of Member Co-ops Radical Routes is a mutual aid network of housing co-operatives, worker co-operatives and social centres. Members of the co-operatives are working towards the shared social and political vision of Radical Routes – this vision is not dogmatically defined, but is centred around taking power and responsibility back to grassroots level, participatory democracy, egalitarianism and ethical and environmentally sustainable societies. Member groups have a positive ecological outlook, support grassroots resistance to injustice and oppose capitalist systems of money as power, exploitation and hierarchy. Co-operatives enable people who are in low paid work or unemployed to collectively take out mortgages and other loans beyond their individual reach. Members of housing co-ops are together, the landlord that own and manages their homes. Without either a private or public landlord dependent on our support our rents don’t rise and with the mortgage repaid may fall to cover only management and maintenance costs, or be kept at a level that allows the funding of other projects. Similarly, workers co-operatives control work without the results of their labour being diverted to share holders, directors and managers. Radical Routes helps to register co-ops, offers training, provides mediators and facilitators in the event of conflict and acts as a forum for exchange of information about and between co-ops. We also raise finance to help members buy housing, land and equipment. Through taking control over such resources we aim to reduce reliance on dominant economic, social and political structures. We are building bases from which these may be challenged and where we can develop practical alternatives – not just in housing and work but also in education, leisure and wider social relations. -
