Housing Affordability in Global Cities

The world's most desirable cities all need millions of additional homes this decade and are all building at a fraction of the required pace, while construction labour, financing costs, approvals and infrastructure each bottleneck differently in each market. This study models the full housing pipeline city by city to identify the binding constraint in each and the smallest set of interventions that would unblock it.
