Navigating trade-offs between energy policies and housing issues: a comparative study in Italy and France Hammam Poster Track 04 | GOVERNANCE Poster Session Federica Rotondo (SciencesPo, CEE) Description Since the 1990s, European policies have aimed at fostering "sustainable development" by reducing fossil fuel consumption and promoting renewable energy in cities (Luque-Alaya et al., 2018). However, rising housing costs have exacerbated social inequalities, a trend further exacerbated by the 2007 financial crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and ongoing geopolitical tensions (Housing Construction Sector Observatory, 2019). Too often, energy and environmental policies have prioritized technical and economic objectives, overlooking the social and spatial contexts in which they are applied. This has led to the implementation of standardized models that fail to meet local needs and face growing resistance from communities (Altavilla, 2016). As a result, unsustainable and unjust processes have become increasingly evident, underscoring the need for recovery policies and planning tools at both the European and national levels. The research focuses on relations and trades-offs between energy efficiency policies and housing inequalities comparing different European contexts. It calls for context-sensitive and comparative approaches that take into account the institutional contexts where the energy efficiency policies are framed, the transversal relations and combined effects of urban policies (housing policies, mobility policies, etc.), the existing housing systems (and the configurations of actors ‘ interests at multiple governance levels (European, national, local). Main research questions include: 1) What are the relations between energy efficiency policies and housing inequalities in across different European contexts? 2) How different institutional contexts, existing housing conditions and actors’ dynamics at multiple governance level influence the impacts on housing inequal…

We are tortoises, moving steadily, purposefully forward. They are hares, dancing in circles, reveling in their chaos. Showing no fear, we shrug off their antics and keep moving forward. That's how we win this race. BTW, tortoises live 150 years; hares live 10. We've got this. #aesop2025 #forward
