The
The GSP eG Cooperative of Self-Managed Projects is an innovative and socially engaged cooperative dedicated to the development of experimental, resource-saving, inclusive, diverse, and affordable housing and commercial space projects. Based in Berlin, the cooperative is a central actor in the movement of self-managed communities and enterprises in urban and rural areas.
The GSP eG is uncompromisingly committed to the values of social justice, inclusion, ecological sustainability, and a democratic economy. The cooperative promotes self-organization and participation of users by developing strong social communities that sustainably support their projects and are connected with neighborhoods and local economies[1][2].
The GSP eG is democratically structured and based on the active participation of its members. Each member has equal rights and obligations, and the board and supervisory board are regularly elected. The general assembly has a decisive influence on the statutes, principles, and the election of leadership bodies. Each project and operation also has its own advisory boards that ensure project-related self-organization[1].
The GSP eG is a vibrant example of how social engagement, ecological sustainability, and democratic economic forms can be interconnected to create future-oriented and inclusive communities.
