    Typology of house owners

    “For reactivating vacant buildings it could be useful to identify owners types in order to adjust your approach.” (Kristijan Radojcic, 02 December 2019)

    Since the beginning of the project (Agentur StadtWohnen/Housing Agency Chemnitz) we have had countless contacts with owners of vacant and decaying buildings.

Depending on the type, different approaches proved to be successful. Or not.
