Equity in Transitions
ARL/CReST Joint Webinars
Housing is essential to citizens’ lives, not only as a physical space but also as a foundation for security. Affordable and adequate housing is key to improving living standards and creating opportunities, while poor housing limits prospects. Policies that ensure inclusive, affordable and sustainable housing are essential for resilient and equitable societies.
In recent decades, national housing systems have been challenged by rising inequalities, demographic shifts, changing lifestyles and cuts in social and public housing. Despite regional differences, many European cities are facing housing crises with soaring property prices.
This webinar will provide a comprehensive, evidence-based reflection on past and emerging solutions to the housing crisis, covering organizational frameworks, service processes, and coordination within the evolving public housing sector. The speakers will provide challenges and perspectives from different European countries.
