Cities are the focus point of the second  episode of 'Making a house a home'. As we are becoming increasingly “an  urban species” according to the writer and journalist, Doug Saunders  what is the role of affordable housing in the urbanized environment?  What are the dynamics of the relationship between public, cooperative  and social housing providers and the local authorities at European and  at global level?

We discuss all that with Agata Krause, Policy  Advisor on Housing and Social Affairs of EUROCITIES, the network of  major European Cities and Özgür Öner, Head of the EU Office of GdW- the  Federal Association of German Housing and Real Estate Companies and  Chair of the Housing Europe Urban Affairs Committee.
