N2 - This article makes a case for reappraising the designed landscapes of postwarsocial housing as welfare landscapes to inform current debates, policiesand practices regarding social housing and its renewal. We look back at thedevelopment processes of three Danish estates which literally materialisedthe emerging welfare state in concrete, asphalt, plantings and earthworks.Guided by actor-network theory we recount how their landscapes materialisedas multiscalar socio-material assemblages. We show that non-humanthings played a crucial role in the development of welfare landscapes whichfocused on child welfare and community development, offered architecturaland ecological diversity, and co-shaped the urban landscape beyondthe individual estates. Understanding welfare landscapes as socio-materialassemblages does not only acknowledge the role of non-human things intheir historical production. Ultimately it also calls for the inclusion of thewelfare of non-human species and may offer inspiration for developingfuture welfare landscapes for more than humans.
