The project will be a new collaboration between ABM-LU represented by Ivette Arroyo and Gwendoline Schaff and RISE represented by Shane Carnohan.
We are very pleased with the very positive review they received, which highlights the potential, societal relevance, and systemic approach of the submitted project!
Below the abstract of the project:
Housing plays a central role in climate mitigation and adaptation, yet current housing systems remain resource-intensive and socially unequal. In this context, shared forms of housing have been identified as potentially more resource-efficient and socially resilient alternatives. Evidence on the shared housing-sustainability nexus, however, remains fragmented across disciplines, contexts, and thematic focuses. This makes it challenging to understand how findings relate to one another and how to align the housing sector towards climate goals. The project aims to develop a systemic understanding of how shared forms of housing can contribute to climate transformation. By reviewing academic and grey literature through a systems thinking approach, the project will identify how spatial, social, organisational, technical, and environmental dimensions of shared housing interact to shape climate-aligned outcomes. Findings will be synthetised into qualitative system maps that visualise key interconnections, influences and constraints. The project will further engage with researchers, practitioners, and policy actors to refine these maps and translate them into practical insights for housing design, planning and policy recommendations. This knowledge synthesis will provide a foundation for more informed decision-making and support climate-aligned housing transitions in Sweden and Europe.
We are beyond proud of her great efforts and work!
