Session Brief
This session will explore how cities can work with different players to incentivize provision of well-located affordable housing units and ensure an equitable future to the community. Some key
questions that this session, organized as a panel discussion will attempt to answer are:
- What are some new and transformative approaches that the private and public sector can take to
ensure that the vulnerable sections of the society get access to affordable housing?
-
Who are the actors that can participate in building an equitable future while ensuring their
interests as well?
-
What are mechanisms to engage communities and what role can community play in the different
approaches to sustainable, affordable, and safe housing?
-
Are there examples of ‘people as a resource’ where local solutions have benefited the community
and the city as a whole?
