Aidez-moi
Une concertation est une séquence d'activités de participation (par exemple remplir un sondage, puis faire des propositions, les discuter en face-à-face ou en ligne, et enfin les hiérarchiser) dans le but de définir et de prendre une décision sur un sujet spécifique.
Exemples de processus participatifs: un processus d’élection des membres du comité (où les candidatures sont d'abord présentées, puis débattues et finalement une candidature est choisie), les budgets participatifs (où les propositions sont faites, évaluées économiquement et votées selon l'argent disponible), un processus de planification stratégique, la rédaction collaborative d'un règlement ou d'une norme, la conception d'un espace urbain ou la production d'un plan de politique publique.
Samos IDEAL Workshop: Housing Crisis and Rising Rents in Europe (08/07/2026)
Causes, Consequences, and Solutions
A propos de cette concertation
Across Europe, housing affordability has become one of the most urgent social and economic challenges. In many cities and regions, rent prices and housing costs have increased faster than wages, making it difficult for students, young professionals, families, key workers and middle-income households to find affordable and decent housing. Factors such as inflation, rising construction and renovation costs, tourism pressure, short-term rental platforms, urbanisation, limited affordable housing supply and speculative investment have intensified the problem.
This workshop is not about voting on an existing law. The European Affordable Housing Plan is currently a policy plan that prepares future European actions, including possible legislative initiatives. Our aim today is to collect perceptions, priorities, concerns and arguments that can contribute to this ongoing debate.
The process is structured in four steps:
A short introduction to the housing crisis, its causes and consequences, and the European Affordable Housing Plan;
An introductory questionnaire to map participants’ views and priorities;
A priority vote to identify which proposals participants consider most important for EU action;
A structured debate focused on the two proposals receiving the highest number of votes.
Today’s discussion is also a first step towards tomorrow’s Ideathon, where participants will work on practical, evidence-based and creative proposals to address the housing crisis and rising rents in Europe.
