VLGA & LGiU - Global Executive Live Panel - Affordable & Sustainable Housing
Manage episode 437776914 series 2909627
Access to safe and affordable housing is a basic human right, but the housing crisis is growing globally. With increasing cost pressures, and population growing faster than build times, what can local government do to address the crisis? This panel looks at barriers to housing accessibility, development, the role of all levels of government to work together and short and long term strategies councils could look to easing the pressure.
Chris Eddy and Kathryn Arndt moderate a Q&A style discussion with a panel comprising leaders in this space from across Australia and the UK.
Panellists include:
Rushda Halith - General Manager Community and City Services, City of Melbourne
Robert Burns - Chief Executive Officer, Monaghan County Council, Ireland
Diwa Hopkins - Senior Economist, Regional Australia Institute (RAI)
Dr Grace Vickers - Chief Executive Officer, Midlothian Council, Scotland
