Session Summary
A severe lack of data is inhibiting the growth of affordable housing markets that will deliver for people, profit and planet. In a world where at least 1.2 billion people live in substandard housing, there is a strong need for an improved supply of market intelligence to amplify the case for affordable housing, promote change and crowd in new actors and investors.
Moderated by the World Bank who will bring a global view on the role of data, this session will explore the impact of the data challenge for quality public and private sector decision making and investment and demonstrate how trail-blazing organisations are bridging this gap through innovative approaches and pioneering tech solutions.

Session Summary
70% of buildings that will exist in Africa and Asia by 2050 are yet to be built, a critical opportunity exists to ensure that solutions to the housing crisis support – and do not undermine – the Paris Agreement and global sustainability goals. Reall are bringing together sector experts to explore and provide evidence that green affordable housing does not have to be expensive or complex.
We will highlight how cities can support the delivery of this infrastructure, without requiring a trade-off between shelter, resilience, and climate needs. We will address how partnerships, linking global investment to local action, has achieved tangible progress from which lessons can be drawn and feed into scale up initiatives.
