A number of community-led movements are emerging in Europe to tackle marginalization processes of territories and populations. This article focuses on European bottom-up experiences, developed both in the urban areas and in their fringes, where active and intentional communities have built intervention models and tools aimed at expanding the opportunities to access and re-signify existing building estate, and creating the conditions for territorial regeneration, social, economic and spatial justice. The Mietshäuser Syndikat in Germany and the Community Land Trusts in the United Kingdom are presented as exemplary cases, for their being rooted in local contexts and spread on a national scale, offering consolidated decommodification practices of the building estate, and potential replicability in Italy
