Invested by Europe: What Actually Makes Affordable Housing Possible?

Across Europe, affordable housing depends on more than
construction alone. It requires long‑term finance, clear rules,
access to land and careful urban planning.


In this episode of Invested by Europe, we speak with Grzegorz
Gajda, Senior Urban Specialist at the European Investment Bank,
about what makes affordable housing work in practice. Drawing on
experience from across Europe and beyond, the conversation looks
at how governments, cities, investors and institutions can work
together to increase supply, keep housing affordable and build
sustainable urban communities.


The episode explores how long‑term funding mechanisms, effective
regulation, land recycling and mixed‑use development can help
deliver housing that people can afford — and cities that function
better for everyone.


Invested by Europe is the European Investment Bank’s video
podcast, exploring how Europe invests in its future — from
housing and energy to innovation, infrastructure and social
cohesion.
