The Esade Institute of Social Innovation has established the Decent Housing Observatory with a view to analyzing and raising awareness of the social issues involved in housing, from a social, international and inter-sectoral standpoint. The aim is to generate, share and disseminate knowledge about this area, while fostering social debate, reflection and learning.

The director of the Esade Institute for Social Innovation, Ignasi Martí, together with Susanna Salvador, will be in charge of promoting and developing this observatory. They will also have an advisory council to offer guidance and plot the roadmap for decent housing. As Martí said, “This project, covering a subject matter pioneered by Esade, includes the creation of a space for reflection and dialogue with the different actors and sectors involved in this field and will help students, citizens and organizations from different sectors address the social challenges of housing.”

The observatory also receives support from Fotocasa, Leroy Merlin and Neinor Homes, companies committed to the observatory’s mission and aims and who make a crucial contribution to advancing its vision and mission.
