Comment on Polis: housing outputsComment on Polis: housing outputs

General remark on the research field Complex, lack of comparative data (but: Eurofound) Highly sensitive EU policy issue

Polis activities Analysis of social dynamics in housing and neighbourhoods and its impact on

social cohesion and individual well-being What can the results tell the policy maker and what do the results tell the policy

maker in a complex and multi-level governance system? Several results are very policy relevant Research review: Little explicit policy references, strong research orientation Research agenda: Some policy orientation But: needs to be more systematic and more explicit
