Some cities and countries have managed to build and sustain public housing systems that provide stable, affordable, and quality homes for significant shares of their populations. Their experience points to the importance of sustained political commitment, strong public institutions, long-term financing structures, clear allocation models, and housing management systems that keep homes affordable and well-maintained over time. This conversation will move from project delivery to system-building, looking at how cities can strengthen public housing through different models of delivery, stewardship, and cooperation between public authorities, housing providers, and social actors.
