{UAH} The Role of Real Estate Developers

Call for Papers: The Role of Real Estate Developers in Affordable
Housing - Boon or Bane?
Deadline: September 30, 2019; Conference July 14-19, 2020 Porto Alegre, Brazil
Session Organizers: Anthony BOANADA-FUCHS & Vanessa BOANADA FUCHS,
St Gallen Institute of Management in Latin America, Brazil

Abstract:
Housing and the built environment have gained center stage in
international policymaking. In particular, the Sustainable Development
Goals and the New Urban Agenda urge governments to move housing at the
center of urban development and include all actors into the production
of the built environment. Such an idea of enablement is not
fundamentally new, and the developments of the past decade underline
the numerous conflicts that may arise in cross-sectoral undertakings.
The enablement paradigm promoted by the Washington consensus has
ultimately concentrated on markets at the expense of civil society.
Despite the importance given to businesses, delivered results have
been sobering: housing remains unaffordable for most people, urban
inequality is at the rise, and the built environment largely grows in
unsustainable patterns. The proposed panel invites contributions that
highlight from a sociological vantage point the role(s) of real estate
developers in affordable housing initiatives to advance our knowledge
on private influences in the built environment.
