The aim is to present a number of different contexts and affordable housing models that your city/organisation has adopted, illustrated as much as possible through projects. Some of you will take part in the panel discussion earlier in the day, so please make sure that, if you are talking about the same issues that in this session you provide more nuanced explanations or illustrations for the points made earlier.

Session by C Lab at Buro Happold
The factors that make a place liveable can also contribute to it being unaffordable. In many of the world’s most liveable cities, rent and transport costs can make up 50% or more of the average salary. This workshop will explore the interaction between liveability and affordability; and look to develop interventions for neighbourhoods that can have a positive impact on both. The workshop will be facilitated by C:Lab, BuroHappold’s urban research programme. Following the workshop, an output document will be created capturing the key points and sharing the ideas developed by the participants. These can be used within our own practices and indeed explored further during and following our time in Eindhoven. We aim to envisage what our future neighbourhoods will look like and are particularly interested in getting the perspective of young urbanists.
