BAKU, May 20 (Bernama-Azertac) -- Alternative housing models that promote long-term affordability, accessibility and sustainable living took centre stage at the 13th Session of the UN World Urban Forum (WUF13).

The event entitled “Community-led housing in Europe – tools for cities beyond markets” was held as part of the WUF13, according to Azertac.

The event explored the role of community-based housing models in shaping accessible and sustainable living environments.

It was noted that there is growing interest among governments and other stakeholders in alternative housing approaches that provide long-term and affordable housing opportunities.

Speakers noted that community-led housing models prioritise long-term accessibility and collective management.

These models ensure housing affordability over time through mechanisms such as the separation of land and building rights, long-term land leases, resale price limits, and cooperative ownership structures.
