In order to achieve these aims a better international research co-operation is needed. Following this a closer interaction between the different actors and stakeholders based on a more profound knowledge on the impacts of transforming residential structures and emerging new home cultures is critical if significant results are to be obtained.

The consortium members consider that research on urban and residential issues has so far primarily been conducted within established individual disciplinary boundaries with insufficient insights into the nature and potentials of crucial links which connects these supplementary approaches. We conceive that this emerging complexity, characterising the situation in the field, calls for an innovative multifold approach.

This project intends to address these problematics in a trans-disciplinary perspective of mutual exchanges at the crossing points between sociological, architectural and economic knowledge, on the one hand, and between academic research and practice, on the other hand.
