Unity on Improvements in Housing Matters

Through unity, necessary improvements can be achieved, and this applies not least to housing matters, a policy area involving many stakeholders. The state creates the framework, sets laws and regulations and has oversight; municipalities hold planning authority, issue permits and are responsible for infrastructure and basic services; the construction industry designs and builds housing; and banks and pension funds finance both development and home purchases. Each does its part, but that is not sufficient to meet the needs of the population because what is lacking is harmony. Here, the state needs to take greater responsibility through policy-making, dialogue and oversight, incentives and clear rules.
