The bursting of the housing bubble wreaked havoc on cities across the United States causing widespread blight in once-thriving community economies. Foreclosed, abandoned and condemned homes continue to pockmark neighborhoods and communities, adding to the vacant lots of populous but affected cities like Philadelphia. The Mayor?s Office of Philadelphia approximates that there are nearly 40,000 vacant lots throughout the city of brotherly love, about 74% of which are privately owned, making them virtually inaccessible to rehabilitation. But the city has a strong drive to amend these conditions. With organizations like DesignPhiladelphia?s ?Not a Vacant Lot? and the city?s Redevelopment Authority, some of this land is being put to good use.

Hajléktalan aktivisták elfoglaltak egy VII. kerületi üres épületet a Csányi utcában, és Lakhatást! Demokráciát! Jogállamot! feliratú molinót lógattak ki az első emeleti ablakból. A házfoglalók rendészeti eszközök és tömegszállók helyett kiterjedt szociális bérlakásrendszert és a lakhatáshoz való jog törvénybe foglalását és érvényesítését követelték Orbán Viktor miniszterelnöktől és Tarlós István főpolgármestertől.

In 1987, to investigate the potential of small, scattered vacant parcels in low- or medium-rise neighborhoods, the Architectural League and the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) partnered on a landmark design study. Vacant Lots invited architects to propose prototypical designs for such lots, thus helping to make the case for the viability of small-scale infill housing as a strategy to develop affordable homes across the city.

Immobilier : des logements vacants, mais pas toujours disponibles
Réquisitions de logements vides : Cécile Duflot plaide la patience
Une soixantaine d’immeubles parisiens repérés en vue de réquisitions

Vacant land is a looming problem for many cities, especially when it remains undeveloped for years or is transformed into garbage dumps and parking lots. But when designers begin to notice these voids within the activity of a city they are able to unlock the inherent potential in the land.

Le gouvernement envisage de réquisitionner les bâtiments vides, aidons-le !

Vous passez devant depuis des années mais rien ne s?y passe. Ça fait 10 ans qu?un permis de construire est accroché. Les vitres sont sales ? tous les étages. Vos enfants parlent d?une maison hantée? Il y a peu de chance qu?un fantôme en ait fait son lieu de résidence. Mais tels des Housebusters, nous sommes pr?ts ? nous équiper de gros aspirateurs, de musique (disco) pour récurer les lieux et les rendre ? nouveau habitables.

Alors si vous avez repéré un immeuble vide, qu?il s?agisse de logements ou de bureaux, qu?ils appartiennent ? une entreprise, ? une collectivité locale, ? l?Etat ou ? un particulier, vous pouvez nous le signaler par le formulaire ci-dessous.

Today is the day of the official reopening of Atrium cinema in the II. district of Budapest. The building was abandoned for a long time, now – after some basic constructional work – its ready to become a new center for arts in Buda. The building is a protected heritage designed by Lajos Kozma in the 1930s. See our previous post about the new function here.

Jurgen Hoogendoorn, policy advisor of the Municipality of Amsterdam, talks about his “Breeding Places” policy initiative, his “Amsterdam Wasteland” map and the questions and dilemmas surrounding the phenomenon of vacancy in Dutch cities.

Lavoratori dell’Arte’s project for the occupation of Torre Galfa in Milan is to transform the 31 floors of this abandoned skyscraper into a new arts centre. http://www.domusweb.it/en/art/macao-chronicle-of-an-occupation/
