Conference: Public Space in European Social Housing

What can we learn about social housing estates as places of social and cultural encounters?

How can we better understand how social and cultural encounters happen and, ultimately, how such encounters can better be sustained?

At this international conference artists, landscape architects, urban planners, sociologists, researchers, social housing administrator etc. across academia and practice will focus on largescale 1970s housing estates as places where such encounters actually take place.

They will explore and discuss knowledge, strategies, and tools for examining and understanding the intersection of people and the physical spaces they share.
