Housing in the Margins offers a theoretically informed and empirically detailed exploration of unruly housing practices and their governance at the periphery of Berlin.
- An original empirical contribution to understanding housing precarity in the context of the German housing crisis
- A novel approach to theorizing the nexus of informality and the state in ways that bridge analytical divides between debates about Northern and Southern states
- An innovative account of urban development in Berlin that contributes to the limited discussions of urban informality in Euro-American cities
- A theoretical understanding of the ways in which negotiations and transgressions are embedded in the making of urban order
- A historically informed narrative of the development of allotment gardens in Berlin with a particular focus on housing practices at these sites
Hanna Hilbrandt is assistant professor of social and cultural geography at the University of Zurich. Her research explores marginality and exclusion in housing and urban development as well as socio-spatial inequalities in the context of global economic restructuring. Focusing predominantly on Mexico City and Berlin, her work pays close attention to the everyday politics of city-making and the structural constraints in which such practises are inscribed.
