This report contains full papers of speakers and discussants who participated in the second colloquium on the future of social housing in the EU, organised by the CECODHAS European Social Housing Observatory and held in Barcelona on 20th September 2007. The colloquium is the second in a series of three and gathered high level experts in the field of housing in Europe, both researchers and practitioners, who came together to have an open, critical and rich dialogue on the recent developments on social housing in relation to processes of welfare state transformation and demographic change. The thinking that emerges from these meetings will form the basis for strategic thinking on a European scale, as well as facilitating the sharing of good practice for both practitioners and academics.
