Cities worldwide are grappling with escalating housing costs that burden lowincome citizens and threaten to turn urban centres into exclusive spaces. In Berlin housing commons have emerged as a source of hope for urban citizens and activists concerned with guaranteeing residents’ right to housing and a resident-centred city. This study examines the impact of state governance on the development of CH as a housing commons in Berlin, that is, as a decommodified, non-state form of collaborative housing that pursues the goals of inclusivity and serves the interests of the neighbourhood and city as a whole.
