The first edition, from 2016 to 2018, is exploring the subject of housing in Trešnjevka. This is a neighbourhood where we can track various processes related to housing: historically, this has been a working class neighbourhood, one of lower quality due to its pre-World War II construction, a place where the working class movement sprung and contributed greatly to the Zagreb anti-fascist movement. After the World War II, as in many other parts of Zagreb, it tended towards socialist city, through projects of collective housing and the construction of infrastructure, such as the still existing neighbourhood cultural center CeKaTe. In the transitional period, Trešnjevka was largely characterised by illegal construction, the influence of private market on housing, acquisitions of dilapidated housing units and market placement of new buildings, whose parameters change the organisation of the neighbourhood to the core.The present state of Trešnjevka can serve as the grounds for research of the housing issue today: who, if anyone has access to a permanent solution to the issue of housing, and how do we build a community and the communal in such circumstances - these are only a few questions raised by this topic.
