Cities Engaging in the Right to Housing

Capitalisation project of the EU programmes URBACT and UIA  

Duration September 2019 – August 2022

The initiative explores how cities can deliver practical solutions to implement the right to housing, collecting stories and concrete examples from European cities already implementing the right to housing that others can take inspiration from. Three questions are leading this work:

  • What are the most innovative practices at city level concretely delivering the right to housing?
  • What can cities do to ensure that everyone – particularly the most disadvantaged groups – have access to safe, adequate and affordable housing?
  • How can the EU and member States create an enabling environment for cities to innovate?

The launch of the joint initiative happened during the Cities Forum on 31st January 2020. The ultimate goal is to push the agenda on the right to housing EU wide and to further enrich the work done by the EU Urban Agenda.
