Podcast #2 - Affordable Housing & Technology
Adequate housing is a human right, and a safe place to call home is a prerequisite for social and economic development. But globally, an estimated 1.6 billion people live in substandard housing. That’s one out of four! This not only has significant consequences for their safety and health, but also on their economic opportunities and social inclusion.
In this episode Johann Baar (Hilti Foundation), Scott Merrill (Habitat for Humanity), Corinna Salzer (Hilti Group) and Luis Felipe Lopez (Base Bahay) are talking about the Hilti Foundation’s approach to affordable housing. Learn how housing technologies can serve people in need as a starting point into a better life.
