Abstract lecture

Housing markets are dynamic and can contribute to creating bubbles and making them burst. Therefore housing markets are of huge importance for economies. At the same time housing policies are of key importance to making societies sustainable and inclusive. Access to housing is a key requirement for in particular vulnerable households to be part of and to contribute to societies. Her lecture is about how governments and societies can deal with housing as driver for inclusiveness.

Professor Elsinga will deal with experiences from welfare states in Europe and lessons learned. She will highlight and explore current issues in affordable housing around the globe and how to deal with them. She will discuss aims and instruments of formal housing policies and also address informal housing as a world wide solution for those excluded from formal housing options. How should government’s deal with these informal solutions? Professor Elsinga will conclude that governments cannot ignore the importance of housing for sustainable and inclusive societies.
