Despite its proven potential for systemic change, large-scale investment (both public and private) in sustainable homes still faces barriers, often caused by insecurity about personal, societal and financial returns on investment and a lack of clarity about concrete elements of sustainable age- friendly living environments and the choice of building, retrofitting and adaptation measures to be implemented.
The projects that contributed to the “Sustainable Housing Supporting Health and Well-Being” workshop at Sustainable Places 2020 are developing solutions to tackle these barriers and propose a holistic and integrated approach to progress on implementation.
