Affordable Housing
Madrid with affordable, high-quality housing in vibrant, well-connected neighbourhoods
Access to affordable housing in Madrid is a structural challenge that requires more than increasing supply. It also calls for legal, urban-planning, and regulatory reform. We need clear definitions of public, social, protected, and affordable housing; updated regulations that allow for more flexible housing models; and a stable housing stock that fulfils its social role. We also need to make better use of existing buildings, promote urban regeneration and densification, and remove barriers that make it harder to refurbish and revitalise neighbourhoods.
Areas of Action
- Madrid as the city with the largest supply of affordable housing.
- Protected housing stock and public housing stock.
- New housing models and architectural typologies.
- Urban regeneration and densification.
- Refurbishment of the existing housing stock.
Madrid as the city with the largest supply of affordable housing
Affordable housing is essential to move towards a polycentric city model with a balanced urban structure. A sufficient share of protected and public housing must be maintained to meet the needs of new households seeking affordable homes. Housing must also be understood in its wider context: affordable homes should be located in vibrant, well-connected neighbourhoods, with access to quality public space and services nearby.
Protected housing stock and public housing stock
Addressing the affordable housing challenge in a comprehensive way requires public-private partnership mechanisms and a sufficient number of qualified professionals. It also creates significant opportunities for job creation and for strengthening the local economy.
Nuevos modelos habitacionales y tipologías arquitectónicas
We need to explore new housing models through planning, design, and management in order to respond to social and demographic change.
Creating a more compact, polycentric city may require targeted densification projects designed with sustainability and quality in mind, together with comprehensive urban regeneration.
Housing plays a strategic role in the transition to climate neutrality. This means addressing both the deep renovation of the existing building stock and the highest energy-efficiency standards in new residential construction.
