How we’re building homes that don’t cost the earth
The climate crisis is a threat to which the world’s urban poor are particularly vulnerable. The affordable housing deficit must be addressed in a rapidly scalable and environmentally viable way to achieve the systemic change needed by 2050.
Disrupting the housing market, through the delivery of affordable homes, has the ability to increase access to clean energy, support the transition to clean forms of transport and direct finance flows to low-carbon assets all while dramatically improving the lives of those in urban Africa and Asia.
