Summary

The study "Space utilisation behaviour of people experiencing homelessness" is an outstanding, novel and innovative empirical study. With its methodological triangulation and participatory-interactive approach, it paints a comprehensive picture of the challenges and necessary strategies using Cologne as an example. It encourages a rethink in urban and social policy as well as in the structuring of housing and homelessness services and offers initial options for action.
