Vacancy, access to housing and micro‑segregation

The paper contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between housing oversupply and patterns of socio-spatial inequality. Drawing on a qualitative study conducted between 2016–2019 focused on a central district of Athens, the analysis addresses two entangled issues: the contextual fac...

Drawing on a qualitative study conducted between 2016–2019 focused on a central district of Athens, the analysis addresses two entangled issues: the contextual factors that give rise to diverse spatial and temporal patterns of vacancy and their link to existing patterns of segregation, and the reshaping of both in the years following the 2008 crisis. By looking at the micro-geographies of inhabitation, the analysis shows how housing practices built‑in in the local housing regime, growing housing precarity, and emerging reuse dynamics shape the fragmented patterns of vacancy present in central Athens. The paper concludes that the ways in which housing and property regimes are practiced crucially shape access modalities of vacancy and segregation in place. Thereby, stressing the need to place vacancy in broader debates around access to housing and exclusion in cities. Cet article contribue à une meilleure compréhension des dimensions contextuelles de l’inoccupation et de la relation entre l’offre excédentaire de logements et les modèles d’inégalité socio-spatiale. S’appuyant sur une étude qualitative menée entre 2016 et 2019 dans un quartier central d’Athènes, l’analyse aborde deux questions enchevêtrées : les facteurs contextuels qui donnent lieu à divers modèles spatiaux et temporels d’inoccupation et leur lien avec les modèles de ségrégation existants, ainsi que le remodelage des deux dans les années qui ont suivi la crise de 2008. En examinant les micro-géographies de l’habitation, l’analyse montre comment les pratiques de logement intégrées dans le régime de logement local, la précarité croissante du logement et les dynamiques de réutilisation émergentes façonnent les modèles fragmentés d’inoccupation présents dans le centre d’Athènes. L’article conclut que la façon dont les régimes de logement et de propriété sont pratiqués façonne de manière cruciale les modalités d’accès à l’inoccupation et à la ségrégation sur place. Il souligne ainsi la nécessité de placer l’inoccupation dans des débats plus larges sur l’accès au logement et l’exclusion dans les villes.
