The future of living and housing (ASU-LIVE)

Academy of Finland

Finland - Japan

The programme is scructured around three themes: lifespans, spaces and society. These themes and their interconnections locate the key subject areas for significant research results. The concept of housing as applied in the programme ties together questions of housing through to urban and regional planning, political decision-making and its impacts. The main focus is on the individual resident.

The programme excludes such research questions that are concerned purely with construction techniques, material properties or, say, indoor air quality. It is expected that the research in the programme is multidisciplinary and people-oriented.
