The world faces a squeeze on affordable housing.

The world is facing a housing squeeze. By the end of this decade, the UN estimates that 40 per cent of the world’s population will need access to adequate housing.

Already, housing affordability is at crisis levels in many countries.  Surging prices mean millions cannot afford to buy a home.

How policymakers address the issue will have ramifications for a generation struggling to afford a roof above their heads.
