Unlocking the potential of vacant offices, barracks, and industrial sites is key to solving the urban housing crisis. This comprehensive study, prepared under the AHA Budapest project, explores how European cities like Paris, Barcelona, and Chemnitz transform empty structures into affordable housing. It delves into the „invisible” pillars of success: innovative financing mixes, the crucial role of third-sector players like cooperatives, and the strategic political will required for systemic change. Discover how diverse cities leverage ethical banks, EU loans, and heritage protection to turn abandoned spaces into affordable, sustainable homes.
