“…And while these reforms were revoked in 2012, a new right-leaning government reinstated them only three years later when millions of refugees sought rescue throughout Europe (Andersen, Dustmann, and Landersø 2019). In 2018, the same government introduced the 'Ghetto Pakken', which entails welfare sanctions for anyone moving into a housing block designated as 'Ghetto' (Silver and Danielowski 2019). This policy may be regarded as welfare chauvinistic, in so far as it ties welfare sanctions to a benefit claimant's place of residence, which in turn is defined as 'Ghetto' by, among other things, its share of non-EU immigrant residents.…”

“…A dwelling fulfills increasingly more elaborate and complicated individual needs, which are regarded as needs of higher order needs [21] and [22] (pp. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]. This is seeing as how it facilitates the creation of conditions for social and cultural development of a unit or group, stimulates professional activity and a creative attitude to the work being done, and triggers a desire to raise professional qualifications and aptitude for innovation.…”

European Union Housing Policy—An Attempt to Synthesize the Actions Taken

Adequate housing conditions are an indicator of a decent life, whereas the lack is one of the main reason behind so-called social exclusion. The importance of housing, in ensuring the social safety of citizens, as well as supporting social equity, has been emphasized for decades. Housing, however, also has an important economic dimension. A developed housing sector, in a broad sense guaranteeing the right to housing, is indicated as one of the main conditions for long-term economic growth. The significant role of housing, in deepening integrational processes on the old continent, has also been observed by the European Union. This article is a review and comprises of an attempt to synthesize arguments justifying the need to expand the European Union policy to include housing-related issues. For this purpose, a historical context of the perception of the role of housing in the process of European integration is presented; it characterizes the main phases of incorporating housing into EU policy, as well as indicating the most important areas and instruments of the European Union’s influence on the housing policy of member countries, along with an assessment of their results. The work makes use of the method of the critical analysis of literature, as well as an analysis of EU legal regulations, accounts, and reports referring to the housing sphere. Studies confirm the need for active involvement, aimed at including housing in the scope of EU competencies. The undertaken initiatives of a political, social, economic, environmental, and legal nature are the main forms of recommendations, propositions, and instruments supporting the implementation of common values. Studies conducted to date indicate that the implementation of a single EU housing policy for all member states is neither a simple nor desired task. A more effective solution would unquestionably be seeking out general solutions, addressed to groups of countries functioning under similar conditions. A European housing programme, which holds the status of European law supporting national housing policies, should be such a solution.

“…Some so-called Schimmelwohnungen have a significant amount of mold that is visible on walls, carpets, and even furniture. Housing discrimination is well documented across Europe as well as in the United States (Jargowsky et al, 2019;Silver & Danielowski, 2019). Residents who have low incomes and/or who themselves or their parents migrated to Germany, either by choice or by force, might face discrimination as they attempt to find housing.…”

Sustainability and environmental justice are connected concepts; however, environmental justice serves as a foundation to an approach to sustainability that moves beyond conservation and preservation of resources for current and future generations to explore issues of equity in terms of access to resources and protection from environmental hazards. Examining environmental conditions for communities from an environmental justice lens uncovers disparities that suggest connections between lower socioeconomic status and exposure to environmental issues. This article addresses the need to integrate environmental justice across the German curriculum and demonstrates a case study approach for intermediate‐ and advanced‐level German classes. The first case study presents an Instagram job application for environmental justice projects in Berlin‐Neukölln, and the second case study deals with a blog about Schimmelwohnungen or apartments with mold in the city of Bremen. This article illustrates how case studies can be embedded in both a genre‐based approach and how case studies on environmental justice can be integrated in courses across the German curriculum.
