Central to this type of housing is the presence of a significant level of collaboration amongst (future) residents, and between them and external actors and\/or stakeholders, with a view to realising the housing project (Czischke, Carriou &amp; Lang, 2020); Lang, Carriou &amp; Czischke, 2018). Collaborative housing initiatives have often provided important responses to housing shortages and displacement, especially in (post-)war and economic crisis periods. This crucial role has been confirmed in the aftermath of the Global Economic and Financial Crisis of 2008, which has seen community-based housing initiatives fighting urban decline and housing exclusion through practices such as commoning or taking over vacant homes. Against this background the working group welcomes abstracts addressing questions, such as the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What role does collaborative housing play in locations affected by crises, conflicts and different forms of housing exclusion?<\/li>\n<li>How can we grasp collaborative housing in responses to gentrification, commodification, housing evictions and welfare state retrenchment? What are short-term and long-term effects of collaborative housing initiatives for those involved, the wider neighbourhood and the city? What is their potential to influence housing and social policy and to what extent are collaborative housing initiatives themselves influenced by and embedded in political discourses and agendas?<\/li>\n<li>How can we conceptualise the relation between collaborative housing and urban social movements that are addressing housing issues, such as \u2018\u2018Right to the City\u2019\u2019? (How) can collaborative housing address issues of social inclusion and social justice?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In general, the working group focuses on six central themes:<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Wider social, economic and technological trends underpinning contemporary collaborative housing initiatives<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Work within this theme addresses the overarching societal trends that may be driving current collaborative housing initiatives, as well as their mutually shaping relationships. These trends include socio-demographic developments such as ageing, the redefinition of gender roles, the environment and sustainability agenda, new lifestyles, and increasing ethnic diversity. Socio-economic developments to take into account include economic and financial downturns and their impact on housing markets and income levels of the population. Last but not least, papers could address the impact of technological changes such the increasing role of social media in self-organisation, the rise of the smart city paradigm and advances in sustainable construction and domestic\/urban recycling systems, amongst others.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Organisational dynamics of collaborative housing: management, stakeholders and networks<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Work within this theme addresses the variety of ways in which these initiatives and their participants are organised and structured, and how they re-structure as the specific projects progresses. This includes intra-organisational dynamics and the changing role(s) of professionals working with residents\u2019 groups in collaborative housing. It also looks at wider stakeholder relationships, networks and collaboration arrangements in which these initiatives take place.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Links between collaborative housing initiatives and wider policy and institutional frameworks<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Work within this theme deals with the degrees and types of embeddedness of collaborative housing initiatives in wider policy, legal and institutional frameworks in their respective countries. Furthermore, papers in this theme could explore the relationship between collaborative housing and other\/adjacent housing fields and sectors (e.g. social housing, non-profit housing), and related sectors and policy fields (e.g. social care, social enterprises, socio-political movements).<\/p>\n<h4><strong>4. Collaborative housing, urban planning and neighbourhood dynamics<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Work within this theme deals with the connections, synergies and tensions between the proliferation of collaborative housing initiatives and the wider neighbourhood and urban scales. Papers may focus on specific (public) promotion programs for collaborative housing in different countries or planning\/developer competition programmes targeting collaborative housing models. Further, contributions may focus on the role of intermediaries and sector umbrellas in accelerating the promotion of these types of housing.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>5. Epistemological frameworks, methods and ethics in collaborative housing research<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Work within this theme reflects on the specific epistemological and methodological (quantitative and qualitative) frameworks that are most useful to research the different aspects of collaborative housing. In addition, it takes into account ethical considerations of potentially invasive methodologies used in this field (e.g. action research, participant observation, longitudinal ethnographic research, etc.). Such ethical questions relate to the boundaries between normative and empirical aspects of this research and the role of the researcher as militant\/advocate and scientist.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>6. Theoretical perspectives on collaborative housing research<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Papers are also welcome to elaborate on the applicability of theories from a range of disciplines to understanding the different dimensions of collaborative housing, including but not limited to social network theory, innovation theory, institutional theory, management and organisational theories, transitions theories, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Special workshop session: \u201cThe history of housing cooperatives\u201d <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition to the central CfA of this working group (above) this year the workshop coordinators would like to convene a <strong>special workshop session on<\/strong> <strong>the history of housing cooperatives. <\/strong>This special session (or sessions) will be co-ordinated by Jardar S\u00f8rvoll (Oslo Metropolitan University) and Richard Lang (Johannes Kepler University Linz). The main goal of this workshop session(s) is to unpack the potential of historical perspectives and methodologies for the emerging research field of collaborative housing research. It should help us develop a better understanding of factors that led to present configurations of welfare and housing policies, conditions on housing markets, as well as actor configurations and practices in housing fields. In that sense, \u201ctaking a long view\u201d (Flanagan &amp; Jacobs 2019) also highlights why certain intended outcomes have not been achieved and what lessons need to be learned for the future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The present re-emergence of collaborative housing (Czischke et al. 2020; Hagbert, Larsen, Th\u00f6rn, &amp; Wasshede, 2019) is a reminder that organisational models and practices in housing change over time. Cooperatives as the internationally most widespread and oldest collaborative housing model serve as a good example to study such institutional change. In some countries, housing cooperatives have moved away from their historical roots as community-based organisations that were created as a response to uncertainties and instabilities on housing markets. However, over time, they increasingly incorporated elements of public or market-based provision and thus gradually scaled back resident participation (see, for instance, S\u00f8rvoll &amp; Bengtsson 2018). In recent years, a new generation of cooperative actors has emerged on the housing scene across Europe. Those initiatives and organisations are committed to a revival of traditional cooperative principles of democratic, member-based governance as well as autonomy and independence as self-help organisations. Therefore, the term \u201ccooperative\u201d should also not be limited to legally incorporated \u201ccooperatives\u201d but is conceived here in a wider sense as member-based organisations which are governed according to cooperative principles.<\/p>\n<p>For this special workshop, we welcome contributions that apply historically-sensitive research approaches to analyse questions such as the following,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How and why does the meaning and configuration of cooperative housing change over time in and between places. What are underlying forces for converging and diverging tendencies in Europe and other parts of the world?<\/li>\n<li>How have cooperative housing sectors interacted with other housing fields? How have political institutions and discourses shaped cooperative housing?<\/li>\n<li>How have experiments and reassembling of past ideas influenced contemporary cooperative and collaborative housing practice (see, for instance, Thompson 2018)?<\/li>\n<li>What can we learn from history of housing policy and housing markets in policy-oriented research in respect to cooperative housing? (see also \u201cThe long view\u201d Special Issue in Journal of Housing Studies in 2019).<\/li>\n<li>Previous research has pointed to many of the benefits of historical approaches, but what about the challenges and pitfalls?<\/li>\n<li>What explains the rise and fall of cooperative housing movements in the past? How may present collaborative housing movements avoid past mistakes and emulate the successes of past housing experiments?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Depending on the response to this call and quality of submissions, the special workshop conveners will also explore the possibility of a joint publication project.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>References<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Czischke, D., Carriou, C., &amp; Lang, R.

Since energy efficiency and environmental sustainability have become major arenas of debate pursued by governments across the world, the housing sector will have to face the challenge of increasing energy efficiency in planning, designing, constructing new housing, as well as in renovating and maintaining the existing stock. Evaluation of the performance of buildings, building materials and services has also come into focus. All actors participating in the housing sector are giving more attention to environmental aspects as well as social, cultural, and economic aspects. Thus, the aims of the Working Group are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>to analyse how environmental sustainability and energy efficiency are affected in the production, renovation, and maintenance of housing;<\/li>\n<li>to evaluate new concepts and technologies related to the analysis of environmental sustainability and energy efficiency in housing;<\/li>\n<li>to explore different methods, tools, and approaches for enhancing the environmental sustainability of housing.<\/li>\n<li>to consider the effectiveness of policies and regulatory tools intended to improve energy performances and reduce environmental impacts of housing;<\/li>\n<li>to provide a forum for debates about linkages among these topics.<\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Within this concept, the working group\u2019s scope is housing design, production, renovation, maintenance and new building concepts related to sustainability, energy efficiency, building sustainability assessment methods and tools, LCA, LCC, performance assessment, energy behaviour, actual energy use, indoor air quality, and regulations, policies and practices in relation to these issues, as well as theoretical and methodological issues associated with research.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plans for the Workshop in Nicosia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We welcome contributions related to the aims and topics indicated in the description of the Working Group<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;3.

Yet the explosive growth of urbanization in the developing world has not been matched by a commensurate growth in the supply of decent housing. The shortcomings of policy, lack of political will, limitations of housing finance, poor land management in urban areas, lack of security of tenure, and lack of infrastructure and services are just some of the issues that confront citizens and policy-makers in developing countries, and indicate an urgent need for research, analysis and action.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Sub themes<br \/> <\/strong>The group supports a transdisciplinary approach to housing and urban issues, considering for example:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Environmental pollution by crowding and intense construction<\/li>\n<li>Resource scarcity (financial, economical, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Support to socio-cultural identities<\/li>\n<li>Homelessness and unaffordability of urban housing<\/li>\n<li>Global Urbanization dynamics<\/li>\n<li>Squatter settlements and gated communities<\/li>\n<li>Diversity of needs for urban housing typology<\/li>\n<li>Urban transformation to allow renewal of urban housing stock and to offer the residents to get old in their same home environments<\/li>\n<li>Collective self-help and local government practices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These issues require complementary resource mobilisation by governments and the private sector. Social and political negotiation processes need to moderated to mediate conflicting demands on urban land and\/or services for housing and commercial development especially promoted by international investors. A fair assessment of claims and negotiation results can only rely on joint research of\u00a0 scholars, intellectuals and housing practitioners. Thus the search for future liveable cities seems most urgent in the urban areas of the developing world since they are most affected by the\u00a0<em>crises<\/em>\u00a0and require the\u00a0<em>integration of projects into policies<\/em>\u00a0most urgently.<\/p>\n<p>The WT supports activities to encourage wider participation in the group such as\u00a0\u00a0 editing of collections and journal special issues, research collaboration, and network\u00a0 activities in addition to the main ENHR conference events. Current international priority to the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals offers a range of opportunities for research and collaboration.\u00a0 The framework for operationalizing the New Urban Agenda and action-oriented recommendations on Sustainable Development Goal 11 (particularly the target 11.1 for affordable housing and slum upgrading) is also a focus of interest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recent activities<\/strong><br \/> The WG Co-ordinators regularly host workshops at ENHR annual conferences, most recently in Athens, 2019. The group continues to focus on the centrality of housing to the growth of urbanization in the developing nations, including issues of policy and politics, finance, land management, security of tenure, and lack of infrastructure and services. These are just some of the issues that confront citizens and policy-makers in developing countries, and provide a strong theme for research, analysis and action.<\/p>\n<p>During 2018-19, the working group co-ordinators completed their collaborative project on the New Urban Agenda and Housing Development in Istanbul, funded by the British Academy (Newton Mobility Fund) and led by Professors G\u00fclden Erkut and Isobel Anderson. Team members held a final project meeting in Istanbul in February 2019 and a journal article is in preparation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Members of the co-ordination team (Yurdanur D\u00fbglero\u011flu, Kosta Mathey and Isobel Anderson) co-ordinated the workshop at the ENHR 2019 conference in Athens, Greece, 27-30 August.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">2019 also saw the launch of the African Research Network for Urbanization and Habitable Cities, hosted at the Centre for Sustainable Housing and Development, University of Lagos. Co-ordinator Isobel Anderson was a UK partner in the bid for the network, which is funded through the UK Global Challenges Research Fund Partnership Programme for Capacity Building in collaboration with the African Research University Alliance (ARUA). Kosta Math\u00e9y visited the Lagos Partner with support from the Volkswagen foundation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Towards the end of 2019, the WG received the very sad news of the passing of our fellow co-ordinator, Chris Watson. Chris was one of the longest standing members of ENHR, from its founding conference in G\u00e4vle, and from the founding of this working group in Istanbul. He was hugely encouraging of colleagues\u2019 research in lower income countries and a great mentor to many. He is sadly missed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Future plans<\/strong><br \/> The WG plan to co-ordinate a workshop session at the ENHR Nicosia conference 2021 and encourage abstracts from potential participants with related interests. The co-ordination team recognise the challenges some potential participants from developing countries face in obtaining visas and funding to attend the ENHR events, even when submitted abstracts are accepted. They will seek to maintain communication with participants in the lead-up to the conference, in order to plan the workshop sessions as effectively as possible.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;6.

International exchange in this area has always been handicapped by quite different national approaches and traditional groupings of legal and socio-legal expertise, despite drives towards European harmonization have not explicitly dealt with land law, but affect this strongly. This group aims to promote exchange and debate between people in the same area as well as promoting understanding of the multiple types of relevant law.

This is the workshop for researchers who are interested in two of the ENHR Working Groups: Metropolitan Dynamics: Urban Change, Markets and Governance; and Land Markets and Housing Policy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The analysis of housing policies and policies for land for housing must take the metropolitan context into account. On one side, the dynamics of metropolitan areas involve powerful mechanisms of price formation, spatial distribution, wealth distribution and variations in livability and social cohesion. On the other side metropolitan areas are also breeding ground for new initiatives and the rethinking of established policies and habits. All over Europe we see new initiatives within the area of housing and land use.\u00a0Besides all this the recent covid crisis raised new issues about urban density which can also best handled with metropolitan level policies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our ambition with this joint workshop (which might lead to the merger of the two working groups) is to establish an arena for scholarly and practical discussions which depart on and take account of metropolitan dynamics. Under this umbrella we welcome papers on metropolitan housing policy initiatives across Europe, papers on land market dynamics and papers addressing land markets institutions, policy, actors and tools. Our aim is to conduct multi-disciplinary analysis, how housing processes can be steered with governance and spatial planning tools in urban areas \u2013 not necessarily on metropolitan area level but giving priority to the spatial dimension.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We are waiting for your abstracts for this most urban-oriented workshop of the ENHR\u20192020 conference in Nicosia!<\/p>\n<p>Willem Korthals Altes, Berit Nordahl, Christiane Thouzellier, Iv\u00e1n Tosics<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;8.

The group has been established in 1993 and since then has organised workshops during almost all ENHR Conferences. Our workshops have regularly led to joint publications either in the form of special issues (e.g. for Housing Studies, Urban Studies, Housing Theory and Society, and Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies), or edited books.<\/p>\n<p>The central theme(s) of the Working Group are:<\/p>\n<p>(a) Housing conditions, housing preferences and residential mobility of minority ethnic groups<\/p>\n<p>(b) Concentration and segregation of minority ethnic groups<\/p>\n<p>(c) Living in multicultural neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We welcome papers that fit in these theme(s) and based on either qualitative or quantitative research (or a combination of both).\u00a0 For the ENHR 2020 conference in Nicosia, we especially welcome papers that try to link the themes of the workshop to the overall theme of the conference (Unsettled Settlements: Housing in Unstable Contexts), by focusing on one of the following issues:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Displacement and evictions: An increasing number of households are evicted as a consequence of mortgage insolvency and rent arrears. Next to that, households are displaced as a consequence of urban renewal, gentrification, and policies to counter segregation and parallel societies. Some minority ethnic groups are subject to a higher risk of displacement than the general population. Papers could, for instance, focus on the explanation for the rise of the number of evictions, the coping mechanisms of displaced households or on social movements struggling for the right to housing.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Informal settlements: An informal settlement is any human settlement where housing has been constructed without the requisite permits or legal\u00a0 title\u00a0 for\u00a0 use\u00a0 of\u00a0 the\u00a0 land. Some minority groups are relying on informal housing options due their comprised legal status or due to a long history of exclusion (e.g. Roma). Papers could focus on how people experience living in these settlements and how policies could address the issue of informal settlements<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Affordability: Social housing is declining in most European countries and the housing market is increasingly privatized. Combined with austerity measures during the economic crisis this had led to affordability problems. The share of poor households paying too much for housing has increased almost everywhere and has even doubled in some countries (e.g. Spain, Portugal and Ireland). Papers could provide insight into the question how the affordability crisis has affected specific ethnic minority groups.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If we attract a substantial number of papers that make a link with the above themes, we will take the initiative for a special issue.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;9.

In the initial phase homelessness was the core focus of the working group. Increasing awareness of the relationships between homelessness and housing, social exclusion and welfare policy, is reflected in the papers presented at more recent WELPHASE workshops. The papers usually reflect a considerable thematic diversity, albeit framed by the overarching focus of the WG on homelessness, housing and social exclusion, and welfare policy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the last ENHR conference in Athens a great range of papers from Australia, Germany, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, and the UK were discussed. We had data from large scale surveys, longitudinal studies, and small RCTs, we had ethnographic accounts and policy reviews. We looked at prevention, intervention, enumeration, strategies, health, capabilities, gender. A diversity of methods and methodological approaches always match the diversity of topics, including qualitative and small-scale interviews, evaluations of policies, and analyses of large-scale data-sets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The WELPHASE WG has strong links with research focused on social work, policy practice and policy evaluations. Many of workshop participants are practitioners in the field presenting their work for governmental, local governmental or voluntary bodies dealing with homelessness, housing policy and social exclusion. Homelessness research performed by academics is also of great interest to those who design and implement policy \u201con the ground\u201d. Research presented at the WELPHASE workshop deals both with major issues of nation-wide policies, as well as small-scale practical problems of everyday work of case-managers and the like. The workshop is an excellent example of mutual implications and links between research and policy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Plans for the Workshop in Nicosia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The WELPHASE workshop fits well into the general theme of the 2021 ENHR conference in Nicosia: \u201cUnsettled Settlements: Housing in Unstable Contexts\u201d. The conference aims at exploring the experiences of transient, fragmented, changeable and unpredictable housing in different contexts. Housing precarity and instability is central to our WG.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Working Group Coordinators look forward to receiving a broad range of papers concerning housing exclusion and homelessness in various settings, as well as welfare policy analyses and evaluations. We appreciate a variety of theoretical and practical approaches, as well as methods, that reflect current interests of the researchers and we hope to have a fruitful discussion on those issues in a comparative perspective.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The WELPHASE WG welcomes papers at different stages of development varying from papers already accepted by a journal to drafts. Following the procedure of earlier workshops, a discussant is appointed to papers circulated within the workshop participants in advance, but also leaving time for questions and a general discussion. In this way, the workshop offers a valuable opportunity to receive comments and proceed with papers which are at the draft stage.\u00a0We welcome all papers concerning the impact of the coronavirus crisis on homelessness and housing exclusion<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;17.

The working group facilitates a comparative perspectives and exchange of different views on housing reforms in the region. The researchers from different countries present papers on a variety of topics such as comparative evaluation of housing policy reforms, affordability, rental housing provision and house price dynamics. This research is designed to influence the policy dialogue in the scholarly and professional communities as well as to identify directions for action.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Future Plans <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While the COVID-19 pandemic is, hopefully, likely to be eliminated or at least its strength significantly minimised, its occurrence may have a long-lasting impact also on the way we, as researchers, conduct our business. We certainly need to think and act differently and adjust our housing research objectives and activity. In this context, we are aiming at facilitating a more inclusive and diverse engagement with housing researchers, academics and policy leaders in the region. This might reshape the academic nature of the ENHR Working Group, while providing a relevant knowledge exchange platform. There seems to be consensus that on a regional level a network would be beneficial, not necessarily in its academic format promoted so far through ENHR workshops and peer-reviewed publications. While this is still of interest, the current climate of online interaction provides different opportunities for housing researchers and policy\u00a0makers to share information, resources and collaboration tools to respond, recover and reinvent those aspects of housing in cities that are important in building better housing systems. We feel that webinars, discussions, online small conferences might be a viable alternative in the short term.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, we are planning to organize a WG workshop at the 2021 ENHR conference which is planned to take place in Nicosia, Cyprus. Topics of particular interest will include, among others, all COVID-19 related issues, especially, its immediate and expected long-term impacts in the housing sector and housing policy implications. Welcome too are, of course, also contributions on other recent housing policy orientations and their impact on housing affordability and the consequent characteristic tenure structures and the role of the state in the area of housing provision.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;19.
