The evening included a presentation by Mara on the little known but fascinating history of how organised squatters in early 1970s London formalised the rehabilitation and self-management of empty homes as housing co-operatives. Some of these \u2018short-life\u2019 co-operatives remained temporary and rapidly disappeared as the city became more gentrified. In a few cases, however, they became a stepping stone towards the establishment of permanent community-led social rented housing as cooperatives or housing associations. The presentation offered preliminary insights from ongoing research into histories of short-life co-operative and their relationship to housing movements, and was followed by a debate around conditions, imaginaries and forms of organising that enable building and reclaiming spaces for non-speculative, collectively managed housing in cities. The event was organised as part of \u2018The Politics of Organised Squatting\u2019 research residency at the Mayday Rooms archive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the 28th March 2018, the London archive and education space\u00a0Mayday Rooms\u00a0hosted the public event\u00a0\u2018From squats to co-ops: reflections on commoning housing\u2019.
