Learning From Social Housing Production in France
The Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies is hosting a research talk by Professor Paavo Monkkonen of the UCLA Urban Planning and Public Policy Departments on his research Learning From Social Housing Production in France.
Lunch will be provided. Registration required.
About the Research
France has both the largest stock of social housing in Europe and higher levels of housing production than most other countries. Professor Paavo Monkkonen will share research examining French social housing landlords/developers from 2012–2022 to assess which types of organizations — older?, larger?, publicly owned? — build more.
