The book synthesizes the research, methods, and collaborative learning developed within the RE-DWELL Innovative Training Network, offering a comprehensive guide to transdisciplinary approaches for affordable and sustainable housing. Structured in six progressive parts, it begins by mapping contemporary housing challenges across design, community participation, and policy domains, then establishes the conceptual foundations of transdisciplinarity. The core of the volume presents the fifteen early-stage researchers’ projects and the shared knowledge resources—such as the vocabulary, case library, and challenges repository—produced by the network. Subsequent sections examine how interdisciplinary collaboration informs housing policy, resident engagement, and architectural education, before highlighting the central role of community co-creation in defining problems and solutions. The final part reflects on the integration of academic research with professional practice, particularly through secondments, emphasizing the co-production of actionable knowledge. Overall, the book serves both as a synthesis of RE-DWELL’s transdisciplinary research framework and as a practical reference for advancing collaborative, socially inclusive, and sustainable housing strategies.
