June 8, 2026

Can we build our way out of the housing crisis without deepening the climate crisis?

In this episode of Unaffordables, we look at the physical realities of creating affordable homes in a world where seven of the nine planetary boundaries have already been breached. From adaptive reuse and bio-based materials to investment models and regulation, the discussion explores how housing can be delivered sustainably, affordably, and at scale.

Moderated by Sinus Lynge, co-founder of EFFEKT Architects, the conversation features Steffen Enersen Maagaard (Artelia), Wietse de Vries (Bouwgroep Dijkstra Draisma), Valérie Vermandel (Whitewood Developers), and Mads Rude (PATRIZIA).

Together, they ask: how do we provide housing that is affordable, healthy, and environmentally responsible — without compromising on quality?

Unaffordables is a three-part podcast series commissioned by Living Places and VELUX.
