    Abstract

    This article presents the interdisciplinary research project Reconfiguring Welfare Landscapes. We explore new ways to revisit the open spaces of social housing estates in their own right, with their own histories and as part of a larger urban landscape. By doing so, we aim to understand what ideas about well-being and welfare these welfare landscapes materialise, and how they change over time together with changing conceptions, ideas and uses. We assume that the answers to these questions can guide social housing estates’ development and their capacity to be welfare landscapes in the future, providing meaningful and sustainable landscapes for living.
