Dear Friends,

We invite housing and urban researchers to meet in Istanbul, the only city in the world located geographically on two continents divided by the Marmara Sea and its strait called the Bosphorus.We are pleased to be able to organise the 22nd conference of the European Network for Housing Research in Istanbul at such an important time, and for two main reasons. Firstly, Istanbul will be the cultural capital of Europe in 2010.  Secondly, the year 2010 is important for everyone as we will be close to crossing into the 2nd decade of the 3rd millennium. This moment, by providing a unique opportunity to draw lessons from the past and formulate new housing research questions for the future, helped us to define not only the theme of the conference but also the structure of its plenary sessions which will bring together different housing and urban researchers to discuss these questions from their own points of view. Thus the main theme of the conference was defined as Urban Dynamics and Housing Change which will be elaborated by giving answers to three basic questions as follows:  (1) Where are we now? (2) What does the future hold? (3) What should we do?ENHR conferences have always created excellent opportunities for housing and urban researchers to exchange ideas and research findings, to establish networks within the wider European Network for Housing Research, and to encourage collaborative study. These networks within the ENHR are organised as Working Groups, and have shaped the Workshops of ENHR conferences. There are 24 ENHR Working Groups, and as usual they will shape the workshop structure of the ENHR2010 Istanbul Conference.Every second year, ENHR Conferences include a New Housing Researchers Colloquium for PhD students.  We are pleased to announce that an NHR2010 Colloquium will also take place in Istanbul on 2-3 July, 2010. We invite senior housing and urban researchers to advise their PhD students to follow the link provided on the website of ENHR2010 to reach the website of the NHR2010 colloquium.We hope that the ENHR2010 Istanbul Conference will, once again, provide an interesting platform from which to identify the new housing research questions relevant to the next decade.
