The 'Migration, Residential Mobility and Housing Policy' workshop will focus on how housing markets, the neighborhood and the urban system influence and are influenced by population mobility, and how housing policy can be used to influence the effects of mobility on the local housing market. We are interested in both short distance mobility (residential
mobility) and long distance mobility (migration). The papers using the life course perspective to study mobility at the individual and household level (both preferences and restrictions), taking into account the opportunities and constraints related to the wider housing market and society, are welcomed. The papers may also relate to meaning/utility of location in housing choice for various socio-economic groups as well as mobility at a more aggregate level looking at processes of suburbanisation and counterurbanisation. In this call of papers we are particularly interested in two themes. The first is how the out-migration of certain groups has an effect on neighborhood dynamics and social cohesion. The second is how population mobility is caused by and has an effect on the shrinking population of regions and cities.
All enquiries about the workshop should be sent to Roland Goetgeluk or Maarten van Ham.
