Social housing on trial: Institutions + Policy design

Urban Research & Practice, 2019, vol. 12, issue 1, 1-6

Abstract: The recent global crisis exposed vulnerabilities of housing markets pointing to the need to build resilience through better policy tools and sustainable provision of social housing. In the context of fiscal austerity social housing is on trial affected by changing politics, privatization and concentration of urban poverty. This special issue explores the differences and similarities in housing policies and practices by focusing on social housing institutions and their ability to influence affordability and quality of housing. The focus is on private and not-for-profit provision in mixed-income developments supported through partnerships and a mix of policy instruments.
