Architects request urgent meeting on housing

The Ordem dos Arquitetos has requested an extraordinary meeting of the National Housing Council due to the increasing importance of housing issues in Portuguese society. In a letter to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Housing, they emphasize the Council's role in facilitating discussions among various stakeholders. They propose establishing a National Housing System to coordinate public responses, enhancing regulation and oversight of housing conditions, and creating a Housing and Leasing Code for clarity and transparency. The Ordem stresses the need for comprehensive solutions to the housing crisis, advocating for continuous production of accessible housing and a collective mobilization to address the persistent challenges.
