The project Reducing housing inequalities in the green and digital transition (ReHousIn) is committed to better understand the impactsof recent crises on housing inequalities across different European regions, especially with regard to the implementation of the greentransition launched by the EU. The overall aim is to explore the mechanisms affecting the (re)production of housing inequalities underrecent crisis conditions, and the impacts of the EU induced green transition in different national contexts and along different degrees ofurbanisation. Based on a contextualized and comparative understanding of the mechanisms (re)producing housing inequalities, ReHousIninquiries into multi-level pathways and inclusive local housing initiatives to spark innovative EU, national and local policy solutionstowards inclusionary and quality housing, mitigating the possible negative impacts of the EU induced green transition. It conducts acomparative, multi-level analysis in 9 European countries – Austria, France, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, UnitedKingdom – focusing on attractive metropolitan regions, middle-sized cities and rural areas by means of a mixed-method project design.A quantitative data analysis on recent trends in housing inequalities and their relation to crises across different levels of urbanizationwill provide the framework for 27 local cases studies in which the impact of multi-level trajectories of housing-system, welfare regimesand environmental policy instrumentations on the (re)production of local housing inequalities and the emergence of inclusive housinginitiatives are analyzed. Based on this, ReHousIn compares mechanisms of differentiation feeding into policy labs, aiming to formulaterecommendations on how to tackle negative social externalities related the EU green transition at EU, national and local levels.
