Housing for the common good

Across Europe, cities are grappling with an intensifying housing crisis that affects a wide spectrum of urban residents, from the most vulnerable to essential workers and middle-income earners. Increasing numbers of residents face eviction, leading to higher rates of homelessness in urban centres. This handbook by Eurocities presents a wide range of practical approaches in 10 European cities (Amsterdam, Barcelona, Bonn, Ghent, Gothenburg, Lyon Metropole, Milan, Rome, Vienna, Vilnius) addressing key housing challenges, highlighting strategies that combine affordability, social inclusion, and sustainability.
