Tenants make cities

Cities need affordable rental housing!

Housing prices rise is a driver of wealth and income inequalities all over the world. Living in run down quarters and neglected neighbourhoods creates inequities since it reduces the potential access to good education, good jobs and public services. The discrimination by address is a matter of fact. Having a high rate of rental housing is a key factor to reduce housing price volatility, which is a major obstacle to labour mobility. Indeed, the most developed countries have many rental units in their housing stock. Increasing the supply of affordable rental housing would promote a sustainable economic growth as well as a fair and open society. The security of tenure contributes to the prosperity of cities, since it furthers an inclusive environment and social cohesion.For these reasons, the International Union of Tenants (IUT) claims that the right to affordable and decent housing should be the basis of all welfare systems.Our event aims to favor networking among the different stakeholders and to individuate best practices in the field, through a panel constituted by Marja Elsinga (Professor at TU Delft), Claudio Acioly (UN-HABITAT), Andrea Cozzolino (Member of the European Parliament), Guido Piran (SICET) and IUT representatives.As part of the World Urban Forum 6, the event is hosted by UN-HABITAT. Therefore, participants need to register on the dedicated webpage.We are looking forward to seeing you in Naples!!!
