Publication

Prof. Dr. Sergio Nasarre Aznar and Dr. Maria Paula Rodríguez de Liévano have published the article “Horizontal property vs housing cooperatives in transfer of use: the success of a modern classic as inspiration for new ways of organizing life in common” (Revista Crítica de Derecho Inmobiliario, no. 806/2024).

This work analyzes the keys to the success of the Spanish condominium regime for organizing multi-family housing, in comparison with the modest presence of housing cooperatives in transfer of use, despite the insistence on its popularization through some initiatives provided with public resources.
