Building a Better
Future. Together

In this episode, our guest, Borja Giménez Larraz — Rapporteur of the European Parliament’s Special Committee on Housing — joins YEPP to unpack the Parliament’s work on the European Affordable Housing Plan, a new initiative by the European Commission to tackle a crisis that is affecting all young Europeans. 

Together, we explore: 

🌍 How short-term rentals like Airbnb impact local communities  and what balance between tourism and liveability looks like

📊 What the numbers are telling us — from soaring rents in cities like Lisbon and Amsterdam to the 70% of young people across Europe worried about finding adequate housing

🏡 What solutions countries are testing: tax incentives, “Granny Flats” schemes, and modular backyard homes, and which one sounds more feasible from the European perspective
