November 3–5, 2021
This conference is for the people working to make housing that is good and does good.
The Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning at the University of Melbourne, in collaboration with the Hallmark Research Initiative for Affordable Housing (HRIAH), is pleased to present the 2021 Housing Assembly Symposium: Creating Socially Valuable Housing. The event is three days of presentations, workshops, and panel discussions that focus on the social value of affordable housing.
Researchers, designers, service providers, developers, funders and policy makers are invited to join us at the Housing Assembly.
The event will address the social value of affordable housing, and ask:
–What, beyond financial profit, makes housing truly valuable?
–How can demonstration projects play a role in inspiring new thinking, encouraging experimentation and building coalitions for best practice social housing?
–How can we harness unprecedented levels of investment in social and affordable housing to deliver the best social outcomes?
–How can we expand our conceptualization of what matters when it comes to housing?
–What can we learn from international best practice and home-grown solutions to build a truly valuable housing system?
The event will unpack these topics through international case studies, presentations from world-leading thinkers, industry-focused panel discussions and workshops.
