Conference Themes

  1. Housing Policy and Financial Instruments for Affordable Housing and Better Living Environments

This theme will explore national and regional housing policies and financial tools that support the development and renovation of affordable housing. Discussions will focus on practical solutions that improve accessibility, sustainability, and the overall quality of living environments.

  1. Crisis Resilience and Cross-Sector Cooperation in Housing

This session will address how the housing sector can better respond to economic, social, and environmental crises, as well as challenges arising from geopolitical and military threats in the region. In light of the evolving security environment, discussions will also consider housing preparedness, continuity planning, and the role of housing organisations in supporting communities during emergencies.

  1. Best Practices and Lessons Learned from Pilot Projects: Innovative Renovation and Cost-Effective Solutions

Participants will gain insights into successful pilot projects and innovative renovation strategies. The focus will be on practical, cost-effective solutions that enhance energy efficiency, modernise housing stock, develop funding mechanisms, and provide replicable models for wider implementation across the region.

The agenda will be available soon on this website.
