Webinar: Green for Whom? Housing Inequality in Greening Cities

While NbS are increasingly embedded in European and global policy frameworks, their implementation can lead to green gentrification and uneven access to environmental benefits. This webinar explores how NbS can be designed and governed to reduce, rather than exacerbate, housing inequalities. This session examines how nature-based solutions (NbS), such as urban greening, green infrastructure, and climate adaptation measures, intersect with housing affordability, displacement risks, and spatial justice. This webinar is the first of a three-part event series examining how key pillars of the green transition in the housing sector, nature-based solutions, urban densification, and energy retrofitting/decarbonisation, intersect with housing inequalities across Europe. While these strategies are central to achieving climate neutrality and environmental resilience, they also reshape housing markets, neighbourhood dynamics, and access to urban spaces and resources. If not carefully designed, they risk reinforcing displacement, energy poverty, land speculation, and socio-spatial exclusion. #retrofitting #affordablehousing #europeancities #naturebasedsolutions #spatialjustice #energypoverty #displacement #gentrification
