The sale of social and public housing in Europe
18.02.2021The sale of social and public housing has existed in many different forms in Europe for decades and this research is a step towards a better understanding of the experiences of other countries with regard to the sale of social and public housing.
Providers of social and public rental housing currently own tens of millions of homes right across Europe. The post-WWII boom in construction of such dwellings in most countries was broadly sustained up until the late 1970s.
The paper will provide an overview of the sale of social and public housing in 10 selected countries. For five of these countries (Austria, England, Germany, Italy and Sweden), sales and their broader historical and social context will be reviewed in detail. For the rest of the countries (Belgium, Czechia, Estonia, the Netherlands and Scotland), the review will be more high-level in nature.
