“We’re building for profit. We’re not building for people, and we’re not building for the planet.”
Architect and Representative of the European Citizens’ Initiative Right to Housing, Josiane Schmidt, joins Rory to explain why Europe’s housing crisis is driven not simply by a shortage of buildings, but by unaffordability, vacancy, and treating homes as investment assets.
She outlines the European Citizens’ Initiative’s proposals to reuse empty buildings, support permanently affordable non-profit housing, and turn public pressure into a formal policy response.
“We have a housing crisis, but that doesn’t mean that we lack buildings. We lack the affordability of those buildings.” — Josiane Schmidt
