 | Nordic Urban and Housing Research Seminar (NSBB) - Hanasaari, Espoo, Finland 21-23 September 2008 21-09-2008 Introduction The NSBB network (Nordisk samarbeidsgruppe for by og boligforskning)
organises the annual Nordic seminar in urban and housing research. This year's
theme is "Towards Sustainability in Urban Transformation, Governance Cultures
and Housing Policies".
Description
The seminar will tackle contemporary challenges to urban and housing
research especially in the Nordic countries. The effort is to bring together
research on socio-economic and physico-structural aspects of urban and regional
transformation with research on changing urban governance cultures – drawing
further implications to housing policy and planning. The increasing awareness of
climate change stresses the importance of finding sustainable solutions in
managing urban and regional development and coordinating actions between the
public and the private spheres and the so-called third sector. How can this
challenge be met in terms of housing policy?
Programme
The seminar theme will consist of five sub-themes, each having an own session
in the seminar:
1. Housing and Cultural Diversity
2. Housing Concepts and Preferences 3. Housing Markets and Urban Development 4. Urban and Regional Transformation and Planning Challenges 5. Urban and Regional Governance and Participation Keynote Speakers
