20.500.12556/DiRROS-28311 Planning for sufficiency shared housing toward an agenda for future research and practice In this critical commentary we propose a research agenda that supports the scaled development of “sufficiency shared housing,” or housing options built for the sharing of functional space in a way that lowers total resource consumption. While research from multiple contexts shows that shared housing options are generally popular, they remain niche market options, at best. Drawing from the specific cases of co-housing and co-living in North America and Europe, we argue that shared housing options will remain inaccessible, exploitative, and/or vulnerable to rebound effects without more structured guidance from the public sector in the form of planning, design guidelines, and revised building standards. We thus conclude by outlining a research agenda that supports proactive and positive guidance from the public sector by 1) testing and dispelling myths about shared housing being morally aberrant or unpopular, 2) offering specific design guidance, 3) testing and validating shared housing as a low-impact “sufficiency” option, and 4) scanning the emerging policy landscape. shared housing sufficiency co-housing co-living so-uporaba prostorov zadostnost so-domovanje so-bivanje true false true Carfax Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik © Urban Studies Journal Limited 2026 Neznano 2026-03-13 13:21:44 2026-03-13 13:29:26 2026-04-16 14:13:50 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 str. 1-13 Feb. 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-02-27 728 1360-063X 10.1177/00420980261419662 270817283 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00420980261419662 1 350d53ad-1ed7-11f1-acf8-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=41803 RAZ_Boyer_Robert_H._W._2026.pdf RAZ_Boyer_Robert_H._W._2026.pdf 1 7E0DABD62ED5292E5A084E17A9064331 3b6ad9795f0c756b503e004b1a05dc7a6e819e045a2903875ea905305d75a484 da76cff2-1ed7-11f1-acf8-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=41806 Zavod za gradbeništvo Slovenije 0 0 0
