Theme meeting
The role of Housing associations in urban renewal
On November 29 and 30 ReUrbA² is hosting a transnational theme meeting on the issue of housing associations in The Netherlands (Rotterdam). Housing associations are experimenting with new processes for building and managing dwellings. It is therefore important that housing associations learn from each other in understanding how they could contribute to a desired spatial outcome.
