Forget about the price tag! Let’s talk about the social value of housing

Housing Europe's Annual Conference | Online | #nopricetag

Over the last few years, more and more cities around the globe have become unlivable for a big part of their population due to the increasing lack of affordable housing solutions. The financialisation of land and housing and the dominant notion on the public debate of housing as a commodity is damaging our communities. In this context, public, cooperative and social housing providers have been committed to investing and re-investing in their neighbourhoods generating value in different forms and in the long-term. Housing Europe and SFHA will turn this conference into a call to forget about the price tag and rather focus on the much-neglected social value of housing instead.

Towards Sustainable Homes and Neighbourhoods in the Mediterranean Region: Reflecting on Malta’s potential

#Housing2030 | 10:00 - 13:00 CET (Malta time)

Malta, like other Euro-American societies has experienced drastic demographic, political and economic transformations due to the pull of progress brought about by an economic boom. Such changes, which are largely experienced at a household level, cannot be ignored by the state. Hence, the Ministry for Social Accommodation sought to address these social shifts by developing and implementing its first-ever national housing system. The Ministry has made clear that it is putting the home at the centre of Maltese society - a vision which is rethinking and re-evaluating contemporary housing from a holistic perspective. This system is taking a people-centred approach to housing as it invests in adequate housing in order to ensure security, belonging, prosperity and wellbeing in Malta.
