How can the European affordable housing agenda be meaningfully connected to political and spatial planning systems across different governance levels? Following IFHP's recent relocation to the Netherlands and the publication of the European Task Force report on the Affordable Housing Plan, IFHP and the Deltametropool Association are convening to reflect on its implications and next steps. We welcome you to contribute to the European housing agenda and positioning of the Netherlands in a focused session.

The dialogue will examine how the European affordable housing agenda can be more effectively connected to political and spatial planning systems across governance levels. It will address the persistent gap between EU guidance and decentralised implementation, and reflect on how the Dutch context can inform more coordinated housing and planning action in Europe. Against this backdrop, the panel will confront the long‑standing fragmentation between housing policy and spatial planning, focusing on the institutional, territorial, and governance conditions needed to translate shared ambitions into action.
