Why is housing no longer just a social issue — but a political risk? 🤔

I’m really excited to share this conversation with Alice Charles (Arup, former World Economic Forum).

Alice brings a rare perspective — connecting planning, finance, public policy and urban development on a global scale.

Together, we unpack why housing is no longer just about affordability — but about how cities function as systems.

We discuss:

✅ Why housing has become a systemic risk for cities
✅ Why the market delivers the wrong type of housing
✅ How cities underestimate the power of public land
✅ Why ownership culture shapes entire housing systems

👉 Can cities actually regain control over housing?
👉 Are we building what people need — or what capital demands?
👉 What can Europe learn from different housing models?

🗣️ “We will never bring demand and supply into equilibrium unless both the public and private sector provide supply.”
