Increasing numbers of people are struggling to find affordable housing in cities across the developed world. This situation has consequences for the individuals by lowering their quality of life and more widely affects city competitiveness and social cohesion. In particular, households that are not eligible for social housing but unable to afford market prices or rents, are increasingly squeezed.

This webinar highlights ULI’s report, Promoting Housing Affordability, which provides recommendations for European cities in building more homes tailored to a ‘squeezed middle’ of homebuyers and renters, homes referred to as ‘intermediate housing’, based on existing best practices across the real estate value chain.

The webinar will continue with a panel discussion developing the recommendations of the report and whether the current COVID-19 crisis will affect the delivery of intermediate housing and what can be done to prevent any issues or resolve them.

In this webinar, speakers will address key questions including:

• How can public and private sector stakeholders work better together to deliver more intermediate housing?
• Is there a silver bullet for intermediate housing – how do you see the landscape unfolding?
• What could the potential impact be of the current COVID-19 crisis and how could potential negative impact be prevented or resolved?
