Plenary #1

Get ready for an exploration of the key forces shaping housing as a central element of social infrastructure. In this special plenary session, we’ll tackle the critical questions: Who funds it? Who benefits? And how can we bring diverse interests into alignment?  

Our panel of leading experts and practitioners will provide a comprehensive view of the challenges and potential in the housing sector. We’ll delve into the root issues, uncover hidden opportunities, and discuss the best strategies for collaboration.
