Governance for Cohousing in Austria
A sustainable transformation of the housing sector is crucial to achieving climate targets. Cohousing, community-based housing initiatives, can play an important role. However, its potential has not yet been adequately reflected in housing strategies, financing systems and decision-making processes.
GO4CO supported Austrian decision-makers with scientific evidence for implementing cohousing strategies that promote a climate-friendly housing sector. The project analysed case studies in three Austrian provinces, examined governance practices and developed a Policy Roadmap for Cohousing.
Its action research included a living lab for collaborative housing. Housing.Dialogue Styria brought researchers and practitioners together and supported dialogue across science, policy, business and public administration.
