The URBACT and Urban Innovative Actions programmes, through a concerted effort, have created a new platform that aims to reflect the paradigm shift with regards to questions around the right to housing in contemporary cities of Europe. It focuses on challenging the current state of (un)affordable urban housing across the continent. The right2housing.eu website serves as a new tool for city planners/developers, public and private stakeholders, members of the civil society and citizens to inform themselves on the latest policy-developments, good practices and ways to move forward on the path towards affordable and universal housing in European urban settings.
