Conference Series – Urban Transformations: Housing | Resources | Public Spaces
Nov. 4 – Nov. 6, 2019, FH Campus Wien University of Applied Sciences, Favoritenstraße 226, 1100 Vienna
This international conference will focus on the topic of housing in growing cities. The topic will be discussed from a variety of disciplinary and applied perspectives. Bringing together diverse sets of knowledge and discussing scientific and practical professional expertise on the basis of current research findings, innovative projects, and urban interventions will lead to the discovery and development of new perspectives on social housing and sustainable development. A respect for the realities of residents’ lives and their conceptions regarding future developments is necessary in order to identify the most pressing challenges and potential for innovation and to allow discussion about opportunities to socially manage change.
