Vienna International Summer School on New Social Housing 2025
15–19 September

Housing and Health –  The Role of Dwelling in Shaping Individual, Communal and Planetary Well-Being

The 8th Vienna International Summer School on New Social Housing cordially invites early-career scholars, practitioners, and activists to critically explore the varied linkages of housing and health. Adequate housing is a precondition for good health and well-being whilst housing deficiencies can have immediate negative consequences for physical and mental health. Historically, health and hygiene have been foundational factors for social housing and have been central to reform and renewal programs. In the early 20th century, architects emphasized cleanliness, openness and certain use of materials to promote health – sometimes with negative consequences for communities and residents.

The call for applications is open until April 1st!
