Learn about the Housing and City Summit 2023 and join the community of leaders who are already part of the solution!
The Housing and City Summit is an initiative by Déficit Cero.
The goal is to find solutions to the housing crisis facing the country through dialogues and discussions on national and international experiences.
In 2023, we held the Housing and City Summit: Housing as a Common Purpose, in collaboration with La Tercera and various institutions such as Techo-Chile, Infocap, the Consejo de Políticas de Infraestructuras, Fundación Alcanzable, Invica, Fundación Urbanismo Social, Nuestra Casa, and Hogar de Cristo. The event was also sponsored by Arauco, Isa Intervial, the Cámara Chilena de la Construcción, and the Escuela de Gobierno de la Pontificia Universidad Católica, and was endorsed by the Ministry of Housing and Urbanism.
