OECD Housing Gateway

WEBINAR ǀ 10 December (16:00-17:30 CET)

The COVID-19 crisis has revealed and often aggravated the housing challenges many OECD cities were already struggling with before the pandemic. While local and national governments have deployed emergency measures to secure shelter, such temporary measures will not be enough in the long term.

As part of the Champion Mayors Webinar Series “Inequality Matters”, this event focused on how the COVID-19 crisis is changing housing needs in cities and what local and national governments can do to offer more affordable, sustainable and adequate housing for all.
