Dear All, We are pleased to invite you for the* 3rd Affordable Housing Forum: Towards new Cultures of Affordable Housing?,* co-organized by the The Affordable Housing Forum of ETH CASE Centre for Research on Architecture, Society & the Built Environment and Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research. *Date:** 12-13 November 2018* *Place: Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research* The European Union has dedicated the year 2018 to cultural heritage. This occasion invites us to rethink the ways culture influences our built environment and ultimately the way we live. Housing is always related to culture – with influences ranging from climatic and geographic conditions, available resources, social conditions, building practices, housing needs and practices of use, to laws and regulations and political idiosyncrasies. We invite the submissions from different academic disciplines that investigate current forms and models of affordable housing – and their links to cultural and local context. We invite the submissions that will contribute with empirical and/or theoretical insights to the debate on affordable housing. *The thematic panels* Theme 1: The Culture of Affordable Living: About lifestyles, housing needs, preferences and daily practices Theme 2: Reading Culture in Affordable Housing Plans: Advances in affordable housing projects and their analysis Theme 3: Cultures of Affordable Housing Systems- The role of culture in understanding affordable housing models, housing supply, affordability and profitability Theme 4: Towards a Cultural Reading of Policy: Place-specificity of laws and regulations and their link to housing affordability.
