Drawing on participatory action research in Belgrade, supported by CDA partner Ministarstvo Prostora, and in London, this doctoral project explores how alternative housing solutions organised informally by citizens and more formally by civil society can challenge the current housing crisis. Neoliberalism's privileging of monetary over social value and the displacement of people from their neighbourhoods (Farha) is jeopardizing citizens right to the city (Lefebvre) more widely. The primary body of the research focuses on the city of Belgrade and emerging housing solutions challenging investors' urbanism: informal tactics and citizens' self-initiative in city building, and cooperative strategies carried out by a vigorous civil society. Case study analysis through an innovative mixed methods approach will produce a morpho-typological atlas describing housing construction processes, citizens' participation and their impact on the physical city environment.The recent history of transition from a socialist state to a profoundly neoliberal democracy, and the transformation of housing from common good to private responsibility and product of the market in the last 40 years, makes Belgrade a magnifying glass under which to study the interaction between public policies, free market, and informal construction as responses to housing needs. By cross-referencing the case of Belgrade to London's established participatory framework, the research will critically assess the possible transferability and scalability of Belgrade's informal and cooperative models. It will also address wider questions about: who is going to live in cities? Who are cities for?Through a combination of architectural and ethnographic participatory research methods, the research will contribute new insight to debates on participation, informality, and cooperation, as well as provide a platform for discussion among local actors, integrating and strengthening their network. In the context of a hinge role of Belgrade between the Global North and South, the research holds potential for new links and wider impact.

在CDA合作伙伴Ministarstvo Prostora的支持下，在贝尔格莱德和伦敦进行了参与性行动研究，该博士项目探讨了公民非正式组织和民间社会更正式组织的替代住房解决方案如何挑战当前的住房危机。新自由主义将金钱置于社会价值之上，并将人们从他们的社区（法哈）中驱逐出去，这正在更广泛地危及公民进入城市（列斐弗尔）的权利。研究的主要主体集中在贝尔格莱德市和新兴的住房解决方案，挑战投资者的城市主义：城市建设中的非正式策略和公民的自我主动性，以及由充满活力的公民社会实施的合作战略。通过一种创新的混合方法进行案例研究分析，将产生一个描述住房建设过程、公民参与及其对城市物理环境影响的形态类型地图集。最近从社会主义国家到深刻的新自由主义民主国家的过渡历史，以及过去40年来住房从公共利益到私人责任和市场产品的转变，使贝尔格莱德成为一个放大镜，在这个放大镜下研究公共政策、自由市场和非正式建设之间的相互作用，作为对住房需求的回应。通过将贝尔格莱德的案例与伦敦已建立的参与性框架进行交叉参考，本研究将批判性地评估贝尔格莱德非正式和合作模式的可转移性和可扩展性。它还将解决更广泛的问题：谁将住在城市？城市是为谁服务的？通过结合建筑和民族志参与性研究方法，该研究将为参与、非正式性和合作的辩论提供新的见解，并为地方行动者之间的讨论提供一个平台，整合和加强他们的网络。在贝尔格莱德在全球南北之间发挥枢纽作用的背景下，这项研究有可能建立新的联系并产生更广泛的影响。
