Spain: NGOs claim for decent housing

Architects without Frontiers presented a document denouncing that many populations could not afford a decent dwelling or risked being faced with a too high level of indebtedness.

Some months ago, Architects without Frontiers addressed a letter to the Spanish political class and to the Spanish society. The letter denounced that many populations (the elderly, the youngsters, the migrants, unmarried women with children, people in risk of social exclusion) could not afford a decent dwelling or risked being faced with a too high level of indebtedness derived from housing costs.

This letter voices demands which several other Spanish social organisations have been making for long. Architects without Frontiers has edited a number of postcards which shape a map of urban conflicts in Barcelona and which denounce precarious housing and urban developments neighbours have been against. This NGO has also edited a free book which has been promoted by several social movements which collects examples of housing mobbing in cities such as Madrid, Sevilla, Granada, Valencia and Barcelona.
