The Stoker #5 Pension Almonde The New Normal

The fifth issue of De Stoker was written and edited by the people living and working at our project Pension Almonde. Because of the international characters of these ‘urban nomads’ it is fully in English. It’s main focus is the way the community dealt with Covid, and the lessons learned after one year of living at Almondestraat.

Pension Almonde and Vlaardinger Meent

View the websites of our completed major projects: the former Pension Almonde; home for urban nomads and orphaned neighborhood initiatives and the Vlaardinger Meent.

In short:

City in the Making seeks new, socially inclusive forms of housing in the city. The foundation manages properties where collective living is possible for diverse target groups. Of these properties, 30 percent are designated for 'commoning'; the joint sharing of facilities and/or the management of facilities for the neighborhood. In addition, we initiated several larger living communities such as Pension Almonde and Vlaardingen Commons. We are currently working on new community projects in Vlaardingen. Our mission is to start a housing cooperative in Rotterdam and thereby perpetuate collective living in larger cities.

Ambitions:

1. take the property off the market / 2. convert into affordable housing and workspace / 3. collective ownership, collective use / 4. commons free of rent / 5. economical, social and ecological sustainability / 6. democratically organised / 7. for the large part self-organised / 8. on our own terms, on our own strength
