Situating reuse within the political economy of housing and urban development, the session draws on the HouseEurope! European Citizens Initiative to frame circularity as housing politics rather than a technical fix. It examines how regulation, valuation, and finance shape whether cities are transformed or replaced, and how policy can shift the default from demolition to reuse across scales.
