The ENHR Conference 2024, titled "Making Housing Systems Work: Evidence and Solutions," will take place from August 26 to August 30, 2024. The conference aims to address urgent housing problems in European countries, focusing on finding solutions rather than just exploring issues. Key topics include the current Dutch housing policy, new housing initiatives such as housing cooperatives, and the impact of socio-economic transformations on young people's housing futures.
The conference will cover various aspects such as affordability challenges, energy transition, and industrialized home production as potential solutions. It will also include a debate on the role of housing researchers, questioning whether they should become housing activists or remain independent to provide insights and knowledge about the housing system.
The event will feature plenaries, workshops, and field trips, offering a comprehensive platform for housing researchers and specialists to discuss and share knowledge. The conference is organized by the European Network for Housing Research (ENHR) and will be held in Delft, the Netherlands.
