Logement
Nous reconnaissons que le logement est un droit humain et nous encourageons les innovations et les solutions qui garantissent à chacun et chacune un endroit où se sentir chez soi.
Le logement est à la base de toute grande ville. Pourtant, la provision de logements sûrs et abordables qui répondent aux besoins de la population constitue un grand défi pour les villes du monde entier.
Depuis 2018, New Housing Solutions a identifié et répondu au besoin de nouvelles approches, de nouveaux outils et de nouveaux partenariats pour faire face aux nombreux visages de la crise du logement. Des considérations locales telles que le zonage, la réglementation et les impacts des investissements immobiliers aux dynamiques à plus grande échelle des inégalités systémiques et de la menace croissante du changement climatique, les expériences et réponses uniques des villes à des défis similaires appellent à une collaboration et un dialogue multisectoriels.
Cette initiative n’est qu’un exemple des efforts continus de NewCities pour rassembler des experts et des praticiens afin d’échanger des connaissances dans le but de promouvoir l’accessibilité financière, la cohésion communautaire et des environnements sains pour tou.te.s.
