WAPPP WEBINAR: Are Public-Private Partnerships an Effective Tool for Affordable Housing?

Affordable housing is important for social and economic development because amongst other it may reduce poverty and promote social inclusion and cohesion. A few factors that affect how cheap housing is include the distribution of wealth and income, the cost of land and buildings, the availability of financing and subsidies, the supply and demand for housing, and the location and standard of housing.
