There is a large shortage of affordable housing across Europe. In
high-demand urban areas housing shortages lead to unaffordable
prices for many target groups. This book explores innovations to
support a sufficient supply of affordable and sustainable rental
housing. Affordable housing is increasingly developed, financed and
managed by a mix of market, state, third sector and community
actors. Recent decades in large parts of the Western world have
consecutively shown state-dominated, non-profit housing sectors, an
increased role for market forces and the private sector, and the
rise of initiatives by citizens and local communities. The variety
of hybrid governance and finance arrangements is predicted to
increase further, leading to new affordable housing delivery and
management models. This book explores these innovations, with a
focus on developments across Europe, and comparative chapters from
the USA and Australia. The book presents new thinking in
collaborative housing, co-production and accompanying finance
mechanisms in order to support the quantity and the quality of
affordable rental housing. Combining academic robustness with
practical relevance, chapters are written by renowned housing
researchers in collaboration with practitioners from the housing
sector. The book not only presents, compares and contrasts
affordable housing solutions, but also explores the transferability
of innovations to other countries. The book is essential reading
for researchers and professionals in housing, social policy, urban
planning and finance.
