Issue 10 of the journal Dérivations will return to the question of housing. As numerous works in the field of critical geography have shown, the growing difficulties of access to housing are mirrored by the growing influence of the financialization of land ownership. This situation invites us to question the foundations of our conceptions of housing and property. The existence of a constitutional "right to housing" immediately highlights the collective nature of this issue. Added to this are ecological issues, such as limiting the urbanization of natural land and reintroducing biodiversity into densely populated areas. In short, the need to occupy space more sparingly and in a way that is more shared between humans and non-humans introduces new constraints and challenges in the way housing can occupy (or not occupy) space.
