🌍 La crisis de vivienda en Europa: ¿Construimos lo suficiente o simplemente no estamos en el camino adecuado? #Europa enfrenta una crisis de vivienda asequible que parece empeorar cada año. Actualmente, se están construyendo unas 370,000 viviendas al año, lo cual sigue siendo insuficiente para cubrir la demanda real. Se estima que serían necesarias al menos 200,000 viviendas adicionales anuales, sumando así unas 570,000 viviendas cada año para atender el crecimiento demográfico, la formación de nuevos hogares y el flujo migratorio. Sin embargo, estamos aún lejos de este objetivo. 🔍 En el artículo compartido de https://lnkd.in/eBhS287 se destaca la iniciativa de la Scottish Empty Homes Partnership (SEHP) en #Escocia que demuestra que la #rehabilitación de propiedades vacías y en desuso es una medida más rápida y económica que construir nuevas viviendas desde cero y que podría ser una opción complementaria. Con un número estimado de 11 millones de viviendas vacías en Europa (aún cuando este número se ajuste con una corrección del 50%), esta opción de promover, con seguridad para propietarios y nuevos ocupantes, su renovación/rehabilitación podría ser una estrategia esencial para reducir el déficit habitacional sin enfrentar los altos costos y tiempos de espera asociados a nuevos desarrollos. 📈 Los desafíos que enfrentamos: 🎯 Costes y permisos: La construcción de nuevas viviendas no solo representa un alto costo; también se enfrenta a demoras significativas en los permisos y la planificación urbana. En algunas regiones, las modificaciones de planeamiento y la aprobación de licencias pueden retrasar los proyectos meses o incluso años. 👷♂️ Escasez de mano de obra cualificada: La construcción requiere una cantidad de trabajadores especializados que actualmente escasea en Europa. A medida que los proyectos se vuelven más complejos, la falta de profesionales capacitados alarga los tiempos de entrega y aumenta los costes de construcción. 🏠 Demanda insatisfecha: Aunque se han registrado mejoras en la entrega de viviendas asequibles, seguimos viendo un déficit significativo en toda Europa, especialmente en áreas metropolitanas y zonas rurales. 💡 ¿Por qué no optimizar los recursos que ya tenemos? Renovar y reutilizar viviendas deshabitadas es una opción práctica que evita agotar el suelo urbanizable, ahorra costes, reduce tiempos y contribuye a una estrategia de vivienda sostenible. Rehabilitar estas propiedades podría cubrir un porcentaje importante de la demanda de vivienda social y asequible en un plazo más corto que la construcción de nuevas viviendas a través de promoción pública o iniciativas privadas. 👉🏼 En definitiva, no existe una fórmula única pero lo que parece evidente que dados los flujos migratorios, la creación de nuevas familias, la mayor esperanza de vida, el cada vez mayor riesgo de desastres naturales y la financiación no disponible localmente, será necesario abogar por soluciones más globales. #ViviendaAsequible

🚦🏘️ **Addressing the Housing Crisis for Nondrivers: An Urgent Call for Change** 🏘️🚦 The ongoing housing crisis is often reframed through the lens of financial burdens and rising rents, but a crucial piece of this puzzle is frequently overlooked: the impact on nondrivers. As highlighted in the recent article *"No One Left Behind: Nondrivers Are Facing the Housing Crisis Too"* from Strong Towns, the challenges for seniors, individuals with disabilities, and low-income residents who rely on public transit are reaching a critical point. 🚶♂️🚍 In our increasingly car-centric society, the urban landscape has evolved to prioritize vehicles over people, leaving many struggling to find affordable and accessible housing. This poses a dual threat: not only are we sidelining a significant portion of the population, but we are also neglecting the fundamental principles of inclusive and sustainable urban planning. Key insights from the article show that: 1. **Car-Centric Development and Its Consequences**: As neighborhoods skew towards transport solutions that favor vehicles, the plight of nondrivers intensifies. This shift limits access to essential services and exacerbates social isolation. 2. **The Role of Public Transportation**: The decline of robust public transport systems compounds the problem. As options dwindle, affordability becomes a luxury only accessible to those with cars, pushing vulnerable groups further into housing instability. 3. **The Need for Policy Reform**: There is an urgent requirement for policymakers to advocate for and implement solutions focused on equitable housing and transportation options. This includes reimagining zoning laws to facilitate sensible, multifamily developments close to transit hubs. This issue resonates with current conversations in our industry about creating more inclusive, vibrant, and accessible urban environments. As urban designers, planners, and architects, it's vital that we actively work towards solutions that do not leave anyone behind. 📣 **Let's spark a conversation!** How can we collectively advocate for nondrivers in our communities? What strategies have you seen work in the field? Share your thoughts below, and let’s mobilize our expertise to drive meaningful change! For a deeper dive into this vital issue, check out the full article here: [No One Left Behind: Nondrivers Are Facing the Housing Crisis Too](https://lnkd.in/e4yS4TTN) #UrbanDesign #InclusivePlanning #SocialEquity #HousingCrisis #PublicTransportation #Nondrivers #SustainableCities 🌍

New can blend with historic dwellings, as I demonstrated as an urban Placemaker over the last 50 years. With a focus on historically sensitive precincts, including the City of Adelaide and North Adelaide, as an experienced Placemaker of major urban projects have always taken into consideration historical overlays, even when not required. In addition to historical preservation, as a proven Placemaker, I also prioritized inclusivity by setting aside 30% to over 50% of previously held vacant public land for affordable housing through a sense of social responsibility. This sense of social responsibility has resulted in high-quality projects with above-average capital growth. Unfortunately, few projects in metropolitan Sydney have respected historical overlays, leading to mass hysteria around rezoning. However, upon walking just one of Premier Minns proposed 1,200m radius from Bankstown Railway station, as a Placemaker i discovered vast tracts of unused airspace ripe for high-quality residential grade mid-rise apartments. Around 2 million baby boomers are in a similar situation to Bankstown residents across Metropolitan Sydney, and this presents a sleeper market opportunity to free up family dwellings for the next generation. By adding viability to struggling Bankstown central retailers and offering downsizing options for baby boomers, my Placemaker approach to urban development benefits all proving new can blend with historical. #urbandevelopment #AffordableHousing #HistoricalPreservation #SleeperMarketOpportunity

Last month, Gov. Maura Healey signed the Affordable Homes Act, which will preserve, create, or rehabilitate more than 65,000 homes across the Commonwealth over the next five years. This is exciting news for many people and projects across the state, including Studio G's two projects on the cape! Gail Sullivan, FAIA spoke with Grady Culhane of CapeCod.com about this historic legislation and about the Maurice's Campground Project in Wellfleet, which is poised to bring much-needed affordable and attainable housing to the town, both for seasonal workers and year-round residents. They also discussed Residences at Lawrence Hill, which is set to begin construction this fall and include 46 units of affordable housing.

La emergencia habitacional en España No hay duda de que en nuestro país hace falta vivienda, y aún más cuando hablamos de vivienda social para las familias más vulnerables. Frente a esta situación y, en aplicación de la legislación urbanística, se deben destinar terrenos prioritariamente a la construcción de este tipo de viviendas, concretamente los denominados Patrimonios Públicos de Suelo. Hemos realizado el trabajo “Los Patrimonios Públicos de suelo: ¿una solución a la emergencia habitacional en España?” para analizar si dichos patrimonios han funcionado como una herramienta efectiva para promover la creación de viviendas protegidas o, por el contrario, si su uso ha sido tan limitado que ha contribuido a la grave emergencia habitacional que caracteriza nuestro país. 👉 Puedes consultar el texto completo: https://lnkd.in/eMSsrm3x

We’ve gotta give up on this notion that we can convince people to care about places that aren’t worth caring about. This is the mistake we make, we try to get people to care about places that haven’t been cared for- for decades. Why should they care? It’s a natural response, as something declines, that people care for it less. We see it every day in our personal lives with the stuff we own, as it deteriorates, our relationship changes to mirror it. Until we fix something up, we stop showing concern for it. We aren’t going to have any success trying to get people to care about towns that stopped being worthy of our care. We have to retire this outdated approach of trying to get residents excited about making improvements and just start making the improvements. We don’t need a consensus to make things better, we just need to start making things better. We need action. The crimes city leaders, planners and highway builders perpetrated on cities in the 60’s and 70’s should never be forgiven, they did horrendous things to urban areas and destroyed countless neighborhoods. But we can’t pay for their sins forever. Yes, they made terrible decisions with no consensus or input, which isn’t the way to work, and such atrocities should never be repeated. But the solution isn’t to stop all development. We are living in a period where the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction and we have over-corrected for their mistakes. While no input is a problem, requiring 100% consensus isn’t feasible either. Halting all progress will not atone for the mistakes of the boomers. At some point cities have to make it feasible for people to fix what is broken. We have to rebuild our cities like they were built the first time. City leaders have to look at what is standing in the way of progress and remove the barriers. There has to be an honest reckoning of why locals aren’t building homes and small mixed-use buildings anymore. It’s not like there was more money or technology in the 1920’s. It is not a problem of resources, but a regulatory problem. It is illegal today to build the way people love the most. This has to change for cities to have a chance to be lovable again. For anyone to have a chance to live in a place that makes them proud, we have to make it reasonable to renovate buildings and construct new ones. We need local real estate developers to fix this problem we created. This will restore local ownership, build local wealth and create a new fabric of quality buildings to house local businesses and provide housing.

#Europa se enfrenta a una crisis de vivienda y prueba de ello es el nombramiento de Dan Jørgensen como nuevo Comisario de Energía y Vivienda El primer gran reto será establecer un Plan europeo de Vivienda Asequible pero además está revisar las normas sobre ayudas estatales para permitir medidas de apoyo a la vivienda y duplicar las inversiones del fondo de cohesión en vivienda asequible. No es tarea fácil dado la múltiples Administraciones con competencias en vivienda. Este artículo de EUobserver pone el foco no tanto en la vivienda asequible sino el mercado de alquiler sin ánimo de lucro (algo muy relacionado con las #housingassociation). Como ejes para su desarrollo se centra en dos aspectos: ✔️ una acción coordinada y de financiación a nivel de la UE. Creación de un grupo de trabajo de la UE sobre vivienda y la creación de un importante plan de financiación, similar al paquete Next Generation EU, para apoyar la vivienda pública y las rehabilitaciones con objetivos de sostenibilidad. ✔️ la UE debería centrarse en los instrumentos financieros para apoyar a los municipios y ciudades en el desarrollo de alquileres sin ánimo de lucro, poniendo como ejemplo el "modelo finlandés". Es cierto que cuando hablamos del problema de la vivienda, rápidamente nos vamos a la vivienda asequible, olvidando el necesario desarrollo de la vivienda social que ataje problemas de vulnerabilidad. Os recomiendo su lectura. https://lnkd.in/dH7QcgPg
