Flanders is launching a task force to address the need for 450,000 additional homes by 2050 while ensuring affordability and sustainability. Constraints include an overheated rental market and a ban on new open space development after 2040.

With a €6 billion budget, the initiative will focus on social housing, repurposing buildings, and streamlining regulations. The task force aims to integrate public transport and local facilities into housing plans. Aligning with European trends, it seeks innovative solutions to ease housing costs.
