0Do practices of self-provision such as the self-organized adaptation of homes, neighbourly help and the contracting of tradespeople, etc. contribute to the re-constitution of local communities in suburban areas? Do self-organized renovations extend the service life of existing building stock as a crucial non-renewable cultural resource? This study is based on empirical on-site research. The sample comprises 26 recently acquired second-hand detached homes. Research has shown that most owner-occupiers rely on self-provision and self-build to renovate used properties. A better supply of affordable, existing homes in suburban areas could help consolidate the development of towns. Hence, redevelopment strategies for suburban residential areas should integrate the potential of self-provision.
