Promoting peace and reconciliation through cooperative housing in post-conflict Colombia
The project aims to contribute to the peace process in Colombia and supports the foundation process of the first housing cooperative of "ECOMUN - Economías Sociales del Común".
Access to adequate and affordable housing plays a key role in post-conflict peace building and reconciliation. By assisting "ECOMUN - Economías Sociales del Común" in the creation of its first housing cooperative "Ciudadelas de Paz" the ETH Wohnforum – ETH CASE is supporting peacebuilding in Colombia, a country recovering from over 50 years of armed conflict.
In collaboration with the Department of Architecture of National University of Colombia the ETH Wohnforum - ETH CASE is supporting 350 women and men in planning and designing their housing cooperative and in building a community centre.
The project "Peacebuilding through Housing Cooperatives in Colombia" is supported by ABZ and the City of Zurich.
