​Neoliberal paradigms and the privatisation of housing have recently been confronted with social movements in many large European metropolises. The political and social need for more participation in housing, for new forms of urban land politics and for specific and powerful rental regulation is obvious. The special book section analyses these dimensions of housing and housing politics in a comparative European perspective and discusses new policy approaches for urban housing. Furthermore, the Jahrbuch StadtRegionoffers scientific articles and reports, as well as a monitoring section and book reviews related to interdisciplinary urban research and planning issues. 

Das Schwerpunktthema dieses Jahrbuchs behandelt die digitale Transformation, die Gesellschaften heute erleben. Diese betrifft Verwaltungsabläufe ebenso wie die Steuerung der technischen und sozialen Infrastruktur, Mobilität und Verkehr, Zahlungssysteme, Produktion, Wohnen, Bildung und, ganz allgemein, die Gestaltung des Alltags. Mit dem Themenschwerpunkt „Digitale Transformation“ werden verschiedene Dimensionen der Digitalisierung räumlicher Lebenswelten behandelt. Darüber hinaus bietet das Jahrbuch StadtRegion in den Rubriken „Analysen und Kommentare“ sowie „Rezensionen“ aktuelle Beiträge zu interdisziplinären Fragen der Stadtforschung und der Raumentwicklung. In der Rubrik „Dokumentation und Statistik“ werden ausgewählte Kennziffern aus den Themenbereichen Bevölkerungsentwicklung, Beschäftigung, soziale Lage und Baufertigstellungen in einem „Rückblick auf knapp 20 Jahre Raumentwicklung im 20. Jahrhundert“ analysiert.

The return of the housing issue, stemming from the problems of housing costs, immigration, and segregation, has met with great resonance among the wider public. The how of housing has drawn attention once again. Lower middle-class housing in an enclosed residential unit, a format that established itself in the 1920s, continues to dominate but has been outdated for a long time. This housing concepta living room, bedroom, and childrens room, as well as a kitchen, bathroom, and hallwayis at variance with housing that fosters integration, participation, and social cohesion. Special opportunities concerning these issues are opened up by projects that enable the intercultural, moderated, and communal cohabitation of various social groups and persons from different geographical backgrounds: integrative housing projects. The authors of this volume have sought out some of these and examined them in case studies. This book focuses on the cohabitation of locals and recent immigrants.
