Mixed tenure housing: Urbanistic aspects and the experience of recent housing practices in Serbia

Abstract

Mixing different forms of housing tenure with the aim of fostering social integration at the neighborhood level is an important measure of housing policies in Western and Scandinavian Europe, the United States and Australia, and based on these experiences it has also been recognized as a preferred practice in other countries, including Serbia. Urban planning measures are an important tool for the implementation of this housing concept, but it is necessary that they comply with social measures of housing policy, including adequate management. Based on a review of relevant scientific and professional literature, the key elements of successfuly planning mixed tenure housing are systematized and presented from the aspects of social structure, spatial structure and management. Initiatives for introducing housing diversification through urban planning in Serbia are discussed, as well as how they have been applied in practice in the case of the social and non-profit housing complex in New Belgrade.

Kombinovanje stanova različitih oblika svojine u cilju podsticanja socijalne integracije na nivou susedstva predstavlja značajnu meru stambenih politika u Zapadnoj i skandinavskoj Evropi, SAD-u i Australiji, a po uzoru na ova iskustva prepoznaje se kao poželjna praksa i u drugim zemljama, uključujući i Srbiju. Mere urbanističkog planiranja predstavljaju važno sredstvo za realizaciju ovog stambenog koncepta, ali je neophodno da budu usklađene sa socijalnim merama stambene politike, uključujući adekvatno upravljanje. Na osnovu pregleda relevantne naučne i stručne literature, u radu se sistematizuju i prikazuju ključni činioci uspešnog planiranja stanovanja u mešovitoj svojini, kroz aspekte socijalne strukture, prostorne strukture i upravljanja. Razmatraju se inicijative uvođenja stambene diversifikacije kroz urbanističko planiranje u Srbiji i iskustva primene ove prakse, na primeru kompleksa socijalno-neprofitnog stanovanja na Novom Beogradu.
