After a successfull Workshop on “Planning for Climate Change”, we are cordially inviting you to join the webinar in which the joint research and insights of the Conference “Imaginaries & Strategies of Good Care & Good Housing” in May 2024 will be presented. The webinar will build up on the general discussion of the previous RLS-IKPS generated academic insights, pick up the debate of the provision of decent care from the 2023 collaboration and combine it with the provision of housing based on the insights and most current work presented and developed at the WU-JKU Doc-Team 114 conference with the intention to produce a synthesized view as a basis for future. While recent experiences highlight the fragilities of these societal systems and (re)produced inequalities, they also increased the awareness of how crucial care and housing as well as their interdependencies are for human flourishing. Discussing current dynamics of marketization and communitisation of care and housing, by analysing care and housing regimes raises the question How and why these dynamics (might) differ in the three countries and two fields?
