ISA International Housing Conference - Glasgow, 1-4 September 2009 01-09-2009 Introduction The University of Glasgow's Department of Urban Studies will host the 2009
ISA RC43 Housing Conference. This conference was last held in Toronto in 2004.
The key theme of the conference is to engage with the current turbulence in
housing finance credit markets and ask what this means for housing outcomes and
policy responses at different spatial scales both now and in the future.
Description
The ISA International Housing Conference will concern the following
questions:
Glasgow is considered to be a good location for the event. The city and its
surrounding region have been the locus of successive housing policy
interventions in response to housing and neighbourhood deprivation, most
recently through the largest stock transfer of its council housing to a housing
association with a major reinvestment and neighbourhood change programme.
Glasgow is Scotland's largest city and is at the heart of the policy and
institutional transformation underway since the devolution of government to
Scotland in 1999.
The event will be happening in one of Glasgow’s iconic buildings, The
Mitchell Library in the centre of the city.
