Community-led housing is on the rise around the world and more and more civic leaders are turning to community-led models as a primary means by which to tackle their housing affordability crisis. Across North America, Europe, and the U.K., these resident-driven models are disrupting traditional approaches to social, affordable and intermediate housing and providing a means for more equitable, sustainable and socially dynamic urban living.
From urban cohousing in Vienna and housing cooperatives in Zurich to community land trusts in New York City and London, Jason’s talk will take us on a journey around the world’s cities with examples of how these community-led models are changing urban landscapes and defining the future of housing. Jason will also share insights of work underway locally in NSW to foster a community-led housing sector for Australia.
