- Abstract
- This paper focuses on the evolution of the housing cooperative model in Brussels to date through the stories of inhabitants of the garden city of ‘Le Logis’. Three dimensions are discussed in this chapter: organisational, spatial and social. The organisational dimension is defined by the modes of production, the legal framework in which they operate and the modes of governance. The spatial dimension corresponds to the criteria of establishment in the territory, the produced urban forms, the collective spaces and urban diversity. The social dimension is the analysis of the relations of inhabitants with each other, the neighbourhood, the city and the territory at large. Finally, this history will be compared with the current situation in Brussels and existing alternatives for managing urban space and housing.
