ACE conference Affordable and Quality Housing for All
13 november 2025
Building on the Past, Designing the FutureEuropean countries are experiencing a housing crisis, characterised by a shortage of affordable housing, a loss in quality of new constructions as well as a poor quality of a significant number of existing dwellings. In less than 10 years, between 2015 and 2023, house prices in the EU rose on average by almost 50% .
The European Union has elevated housing to the top of its political agenda, marking a significant shift in both ambition and approach. For the first time, the European Commission has appointed a dedicated Commissioner for Energy and Housing, responsible for developing the first-ever European Affordable Housing Plan, as well as a European Strategy for Housing Construction.
In that context, the Architects’ Council of Europe (ACE), in partnership with the Czech Chamber of Architects (ČKA), is organising a public conference on 13 November 2025.
The conference will provide a timely opportunity to reflect on how architects and urban planners can contribute to shaping more affordable, sustainable, and quality homes for all Europeans.
