Dr. Núria Lambea published the book “La gestión de la vivienda social en clave europea” (The management of social housing model in a European context), which is the result of her PhD thesis. There will find the reader an in-depth analysis not only of social housing management models in Spain, but also of comparative management models (specifically, the English housing association model and the Dutch woningcorporatie model, which are private non-profit management ones). Thus, this book aims to respond to the existing (and still unsolved) need in Spain for a common and functional legal framework for social housing providers and managers, which allows structuring and improving the efficiency of an atomised and unstructured sector.
