This sixth session will examine how housing policies influence social and economic inequality, exploring the role of urban development strategies in either perpetuating or addressing disparities. It will focus on how inclusive housing policies can contribute to social equity and help create more just, resilient cities.

Building on the momentum of our Brussels Convening, where we brought together policy experts, designers, planners, and academics to frame Europe’s affordable housing agenda, this session shifts the focus to Rotterdam. We’ll wrap up by placing speculative turning points along a timeline, applying the conclusions from Brussels to the local context.
