ISA International Housing Conference, 1 - 4 September 2009. Glasgow

The key theme of the conference is to engage with the current turbulence in the housing finance credit markets and ask what this means for housing outcomes, opportunities and policy-making at different spatial scales (the neighbourhood, city, nation and different international regions), both now and in the future. What does this mean for the role of housing within modern capitalist economies and societies? Does the sub-prime lending debacle and its repercussions imply that housing is now just another globalised commodity or does it in fact remain ineluctably local?

These and related questions will be addressed in plenary, panel and workshop sessions. The goal is to provide a setting for inclusive, informed multidisciplinary and truly international academic exchange.
