Summary

This publication - #Housing2030: Effective policies for affordable housing in the UNECE region – was developed within #Housing2030, a joint international initiative of UNECE, UN-Habitat and Housing Europe. It explores housing affordability challenges and existing policy instruments for improving housing affordability in the UNECE region and facilitates the exchange and dissemination of good practices in improving housing affordability among countries and cities of the region.

Many useful housing policy tools are brought together in this report to promote more affordable, inclusive and climate neutral housing outcomes. The tools are grouped into the four themes of governance, land, finance, and climate neutrality, and are typically combined to shape housing systems to deliver improved housing outcomes.
