Housing Greece: A Century of Emergencies: 10

Housing Greece offers a critical perspective on state housing through the lens of emergency. Examining key episodes in Greece’s modern history, the book reveals how turbulent factors, such as migration flows, warfare, natural disasters, political instability, and economic crises have shaped state housing policy from its early developments until today as ad hoc interventions. Drawing on extensive archival research and fieldwork, each chapter is anchored in a specific emergency, from the 1922 refugee crisis following the Asia Minor Catastrophe to the 2008 economic meltdown and the 2014 Mediterranean refugee influx. Alongside these historical accounts, interviews with architects, urban planners, sociologists, and humanitarians connect past responses to today’s housing challenges.
