Globally, more than half of the world’s population lives in cities, a number that is projected to rise to 60% by 2030. The impact of the past year will be most devastating in low-income and densely populated, urban areas.
This rapid urbanization is exerting pressure on fresh water supplies, sewage systems, living environments, and public health. With an already stressed housing market, we are at risk of facing a more extreme housing affordability crisis. As it stands, one in five renters is behind on rent and just over 10 million homeowners are behind on mortgage payments.
