international conference: Bozen-Bolzano (Italy) - 19-21 April 2017
Social housing in contemporary Europe
Extending the scope of comparative research and addressing most recent changes
Overview:
The intention of this conference is to offer an opportunity for a highly qualified discussion on social housing in contemporary Europe, which (1) considers its multiple acceptations and models, (2) integrates countries that are underrepresented in international literature and (3) addresses the most recent changes in social housing policy models, management and financing.
Submissions on the following themes are particularly welcome:
- Social housing in Southern Europe and in other European countries under-represented in international literature.
- Social/affordable housing 'by other means': legacies from previous policy models (e.g. social homeownership, cooperative housing, etc.), new policy instruments based on intermediate tenures and other new techniques.
- Main changes in the demand for social housing, in this segment's role and in related policy and management models, after the Global Financial Crisis.
- Financing social housing: recent shifts, sustainability issues, mobilization of private finance - new trends and already accumulated evidence.
- The future of social housing in Italy (special session)
