Some 75 % of EU’s population live in urban areas and cities are currently facing many challenges. Adequate housing is becoming less and less affordable, especially for low- and middle-income citizens across Europe. At the same time, the ongoing climate crisis poses serious threats to life in urban areas. How should we transform our cities so that they remain livable? How can we secure adequate housing for all? And in what respects does the public and expert debate on the future of housing differ in Germany and Czechia?

The keynote speaker Prof. Dr. Laura Calbet Elias currently heads the Department of Planning Theory and Practice at the Institute of Urban Planning and Design, University of Stuttgart. She studied and conducted research in Barcelona, Berlin and several other places in Germany, focusing mainly on the negotiation processes in urban development, and on the financialization of housing.

The discussion will be chaired by the writer and broadcaster David Vaughan.

The event will be in English.

Registration until 11 October 2022.
