This book addresses the challenges of housing and emerging solutions along the lines of three major dynamics: migration, climate change, and neoliberalism. It explores the outcomes of neoliberal "enabling" ideas, responses to extreme climate events with different housing approaches, and how the dynamics of migration reshape urban housing provision.

The “Euthanasia Institution” in Brandenburg was one of the first killing facilities of “Operation T4”. This is where the mass murder using noxious gas started; and the genocide of European Jews was a continuation of it. By the time the institution was closed down at the end of October 1940, more than 9,000 people from psychiatric hospitals from the northern and central regions had been murdered there. The volume contains the texts and many objects of the permanent exhibition in the memorial opened in 2012. It documents in detail the history of the Brandenburg killing facility, as well as the connection between “Operation T4” and the Holocaust. A comprehensive scientific introduction by the editors informs about the newest research especially on the victims of the Brandenburg euthanasia centre and the chronology of the killings in this region.

The author explores the dynamic roles and linkages of public sector institutions and civil society actors in housing provision for the urban poor in South Africa. Based on actor-centred and network theories, two cases of civil society alliances are analysed. This book reveals that existing civil society structures are hybrids that can oscillate between networks and organisations. Moreover, they establish informal governance spaces with state actors outside the institutional channels provided by government. The emergence of oscillating structures and the informalisation of horizontal governance represent new challenges for local decision-making processes. Co-operation and action-oriented approaches in housing seemingly need to be based on a more detailed understanding of the complex interfaces, which go far beyond the conventional ideal of partnerships and participation between sectors.

The book contains the complete text and many illustrations from the exhibition “Medical Care and Crime. The Infirmary at Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp 1936–1945”. It was opened in November 2004 in the original barracks R I and R II. In the infirmary “racial research” and numerous medical experiments were carried out on inmates. SS doctors performed compulsory sterilisations and castrations. Several thousand inmates were murdered in systematically planned programmes to dispose of the sick. The infirmary was also intended to provide a minimal medical care for inmates. Overcrowding, inhuman treatment and a poor supply of medicine led to mostly excruciating conditions in the infirmary. Care and treatment for the ill and dying came mainly from inmates assigned to work as medical assistants and doctors.
