Theme: Housing and the city: livability, equity and well-being

Housing serves as a major type of social infrastructure for cities around the globe, and has played a pivotal role in promoting and sustaining livability, equity and wellbeing for urban citizens across the world. However, there are long lasting and deep-rooted problems of reduced livability, exacerbated inequalities and worsening wellbeing associated with the housing systems in Asia-Pacific cities, especially under the Covid-19 pandemic.
