ICHUE: International Centre for Housing and Urban Economics

The Centre aims to apply modern economic theory and quantitative techniques to the analysis of housing and related policy problems at international, national, regional and local levels. Particular attention is paid to contemporary urban economic problems and the role that housing plays in contributing to solutions. The centre is a result of collaboration between the University of Reading, UK, RMIT University, Melbourne, and Delft University, the Netherlands.

The Centre’s Melbourne launch will take place on the 21^st November 2007 as part of an exciting free half day workshop entitled House Price, Affordability and Risk: Now and into the future.
