Rock the Block

Integrated Participatory Roadmaps for Affordable Co-Living. An EUI funded project, led by the Municipality of Egaleo, that addresses unsatisfied housing needs via interventions at the level of multi-residence blocks (‘Polykatoikia’), rather than individual households. It delivers an integrated approach comprising physical transformations, communities of care, and institutional protection. Physical transformations involve investments to improve the green, digital, aesthetic, functional, circular and inclusive dimensions of housing. Neighbourhood community-building and upskilling is enabled by a new ‘Co-living Hub’ to provide communities of mutual support. Meanwhile, institutional protection and advice is provided via a new municipal ‘Housing Office’.
