Housing: ensuring that Lisbon remains a city to live in

The housing crisis in Lisbon is a complex issue affecting various socio-economic groups, not just the vulnerable. The city has seen a 20% population increase over the last decade, intensifying housing demand. Despite efforts, many families, including those with stable incomes, struggle to find affordable housing. The municipal government has delivered thousands of housing units and initiated programs to support families in need. However, the challenge remains significant, requiring collaboration between public and private sectors to ensure housing accessibility for all. Future planning must adapt to urban dynamics while preserving Lisbon's unique identity.
