Abstract. This Book of Abstracts brings together contributions to the international conference Deliver sAfe and Social Housing, organised as the final event of the DASH project, which is supported by the European Union’s Horizon Europe, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions project. The conference is held at the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Belgrade, Serbia, on 28–29 October 2026 and organised by the DASH consortium — Geographical Institute “Jovan Cvijić” SASA; Aalborg Municipality; Aalborg University, Department of the Built Environment; Association of Urban Planners of Serbia; Braga Municipality; City Housing Agency Čačak; Cooperativa Integral Minga; Domus Social; Gaiurb; Department of Urban and Spatial Planning; Himmerland Housing Association; INWOLE, Association for Innovative Forms of Housing and Living; Universidade de Lisboa, Instituto de Ciências Sociais; Universitätsstadt Tübingen; University of Stuttgart, Department of International Urbanism and Design — in cooperation with the German Institute for Economic Research-DIW, Berlin and the Institute for Recent History of Serbia.

The Deliver sAfe and Social Housing conference provides a forum for researchers, practitioners and policymakers to exchange knowledge and critically reflect on the conditions needed to secure adequate, affordable and inclusive housing. The contributions approach housing through different disciplinary perspectives, geographical contexts and scales of analysis. They connect historical trajectories with contemporary challenges, examining how planning systems, ownership structures, financing arrangements and public policies shape housing opportunities. Alongside questions of provision and affordability, they address housing quality, climate adaptation, energy poverty and the capacity of existing buildings and neighbourhoods to accommodate changing needs. Cooperative and community-led initiatives open further discussion about participation, collective responsibility and alternative forms of housing provision.

A central concern running through the programme is the relationship between policy intentions and lived realities. Contributions on migration, ageing, social exclusion and everyday experiences of home underline the importance of understanding housing beyond the dwelling itself. They invite us to consider how security, care, belonging and access to urban resources are enabled—or constrained—by institutional arrangements and spatial decisions. As editors, we see this collection as both a record of current research and practice and an invitation to further dialogue. Bringing together experiences from Europe and beyond, it supports the DASH commitment to mutual learning across academic, professional and institutional boundaries.

Keywords: social housing; housing policy; housing systems; housing affordability; urban and spatial planning; housing provision and management; social inclusion; housing quality and sustainability; community-led housing.
