The Challenge
Over 2 billion people will move to cities by 2030.
Rapid urbanization and increased migration bring the need for quality, affordable housing to the forefront of global concerns today. Chronically underperforming housing systems cannot keep up with the demand, driven by the pace of household formation, obsolescence of buildings, and land scarcity.
Our Approach
We analyze housing through an ecosystem lens.
We use our international experiences for guidance and insight, harnessing global best practices to design locally tailored products. We offer and leverage a diversity of technical perspectives and skills, working together to provide comprehensive solutions to our clients’ needs and the field’s most pressing issues.
Our Work
For over 17 years, we have created positive impact on affordable housing ecosystems around the world, formal and informal, at a range of income levels. Working directly with mission-oriented customers our solutions have included policy reforms, structured public-private partnerships, refinancing facilities, organizational growth business plans, and the design of financial products.
As recognized thought leaders in the field we have led executive education courses, facilitated workshops on organizational change, and invented new frameworks for analysis.
