About

OTB Research for the Built Environment (TUD), in close cooperation with the European Network for Housing Research, is organising a two-day workshop on the future of social housing in Europe.

The OTB/ENHR workshop on the future of social housing is open to all housing scholars who want to present a paper or poster about the role and future of public, social, and affordable housing in Europe and beyond. We welcome submissions that connect with ISHF themes, including:

  • Strategies for integrating newcomers, both temporarily and permanently, in a time of migration and displacement
  • Strategies for financing, designing, and providing social housing to help local communities counter socio-spatial segregation and displacement amidst uneven real-estate development and investment
  • Strategies for meeting the diversifying needs of diverse tenants, relating to age, ethnic background, health, lifestyle, community participation, or other factors, including the need to self-organise and collaborate within housing provision
  • Other aspects of future public, social, or affordable housing provision in Europe and beyond
