Abstract:
  • The concept of Building, Owning & Belonging is a framework that emphasizes the importance of ownership and community involvement in the housing process. It encourages individuals and communities to take an active role in their own housing reconstruction efforts, fostering a sense of belonging and ownership. This approach is particularly relevant in regions like Sri Lanka, India, and beyond, where housing reconstruction has been a significant focus. The framework is based on lessons learned from various generations of owner-driven housing reconstruction, aiming to empower communities to be proactive agents of their own rehabilitation. It is a testament to the EU's commitment to supporting communities in major reconstruction efforts and the importance of housing interventions that are not just passive recipients but also active agents in their own community rehabilitation.
