CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
------------------
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:
1. Social housing in Southern Europe and in other European countries
under-represented in international literature.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Financing social housing: recent shifts, sustainability issues,
mobilization of private finance – new trends and already accumulated
evidence.
5. The future of social housing in Italy (special session)
