On March 12, Prague will host an English-language debate "Café Collaborations: Housing Accessible to All – Old and Young? Reality or Utopia?". Together with experts from Austria, Spain, and the Czech Republic, we will explore why affordable housing in Czechia continues to be such a challenge and what we can learn from the experiences of other European countries.
The long-term shortage of affordable housing in the Czech Republic is an urgent problem. It is closely linked to energy poverty, the concentration of job opportunities in larger cities, and rapidly rising real estate prices, which have outpaced wage growth.
What role should the state play, what works abroad, and how can affordable housing be built in the long term? Come and discuss a topic that fundamentally affects the quality of life of both younger and older generations.
