CDCUL is an ambitious, multi-national research project exploring how shared appliances, facilities, and spaces influence the perceived value of residential properties. The project investigates whether the inclusion of shared services – like co-working areas and shared toolkits – can make urban homes more appealing to citizens in Sweden, the Netherlands, and Slovenia.
