Europe’s mayors are keen to tackle the housing crisis but want more help from the EU to take on that challenge and overcome budget constraints, a new poll reveals.
This year’s Eurocities Pulse: Mayors Survey — conducted in the spring and shared exclusively with POLITICO’s Living Cities — polled 86 municipal leaders from 26 European countries.
According to the results, 63 percent of the bloc’s mayors say tackling climate change is the top priority for their administration — consistent with last year’s findings. But this time, the second-most pressing concern on the list is access to affordable housing.
