Lisbon talks housing - Live Podcast Recording on the housing crisis
Unprecedented rent surges and short-term holiday rentals have transformed Lisbon into one of the most stark examples of Europe's housing affordability crisis. Solving these deep-seated problems requires systemic change that spans beyond national borders. Volt is co-leading a continent-wide movement with House Europe! to introduce an official European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) that forces the EU to prioritize people over real estate profit. This participatory event links lived experiences in Lisbon to actionable EU legislative reform.
What does Lisbon’s housing crisis look like for the people experiencing it — and what needs to change? Join an interactive community conversation bringing together local experiences, audience perspectives and a wider discussion about housing and the European Citizens’ Initiative on the Right to Housing.
The conversation will feature Inês Bravo Figueiredo, Co-President of Volt Europa and Portuguese national, and will be recorded live with Radio Pistacchio. Audience participation will be at the heart of the evening, with opportunities to share experiences and perspectives on housing in Lisbon (including through a participatory Housing Bingo game which is guaranteed to elicit laughs!)
Participation is free, but advance registration is required. A social gathering nearby may follow the event.
