Information

Description

This workshop emphasizes the social, economic and environmental stakes of housing policies and their implementation. Large metropolises face strategic housing issues, which depend on their history, social structure, population growth, and existing economic and housing market dynamics. Policy makers have to take all those elements into account in order to properly meet people’s essential housing needs and to ensure a sustainable and integrative urban growth. Group discussions will highlight the difficulties of meeting the following challenges: housing the poor while promoting social diversity, integrate climate change impacts for the housing sector.

The workshop will help the students develop a professional stance. They will experience the different steps of a call-for-tenders, from building an analysis grid to presenting a convincing offer that complies with the tender specifications.
