changing landscapes: housing, history and climate change
Supported by the URP on the Gold Coast
Debate continues to rage over the sustainability and viability of suburbia. The effects of climate change, peak oil, economic restructuring and population growth are key concerns in deliberations about mitigation and adaptation, in an attempt to produce resilient suburbs. Suburban histories and the role of housing theory is integral to understanding these concerns and addressing these debates.
This is the third Housing and Theory Symposium, an initiative that began in 2007. The symposium aims to bring together housing researchers with an interest in housing theory. The focus of the symposium is to generate debate and discussion and therefore the number of presentations is limited.
Accepted papers will be published on the URP website and arrangements are currently under way for submission for publication in a special edition of a high ranking journal and/or edited book.
The Symposium is free of charge (excluding accommodation) for presenters and/or the first 30 registrations to be received.
