Housing Organisation and Finance

Abstracts - Workshop 12

Housing remains a cornerstone element in creating a vital city – it is the essential component of successful neighbourhoods and the map of housing opportunities helps shape the economic health, attractiveness and competitiveness of cities.  At the same time, it is a significant contributor to individual well-being and access to wealth and opportunity, so that structures of housing governance and finance have significant impacts on inequality and segregation; and empowerment and social inclusion.  For this conference theme we welcome papers that tackle this broad range of housing issues, theoretically and/or empirically, or that seek to explore or explain policy outcomes or developments at the local or national level.  Broad outline themes include:

      • Changing local housing markets and tenure structures
      • Innovations in housing finance
      • Reform of social housing
