Call for Papers: 1stHomes-uPInternational Conference
Single-Family Homes under Pressure?
in Mannheim on October 13 -14, 2016
The conference will bring together international researchers from different disciplines who work on single-family housing. Objective is to scrutinize the effects of demographic, sociocultural and structural change on the utilization of single-family housing in industrialized countries from an interdisciplinary perspective. We understand single-family homes as a generic term for free standing or serial buildings containing one dwelling, including detached, semi-detached and terraced (row) houses.
We welcome contributions from architects, economists, geographers, social scientists, urban and regional planners on:
- Single-family home building stock characteristics and dynamics of spatial development
- Land use, material flow analysis, ecological aspects
- Emergence of new user groups and user preferences
- Market mechanisms, pricing, vacancies and their resource-related implications
- Housing policies and single-family homes
- Distressed single-family homes: identification and counteractive measures
Submissions on these and other aspects regarding single-family homes as an economic, ecological and cultural resource are encouraged. Inclusion in the program will be based on a high-quality peer-review process. Contributions are welcome from both established and junior researchers.
