This session delves into the unique challenges and effective strategies for providing housing for local populations on islands. With the pressures of tourism, real estate investment, and short-term rentals threatening housing affordability and availability, island communities face distinct hurdles. Experts will explore policy measures such as zoning regulations, housing subsidies, and community land trusts designed to protect local housing markets. Through case studies from various islands, the session will illustrate successful initiatives and discuss the balance between economic development and maintaining housing for local residents.
