# #Housing2030 (UNECE, UN Habitat, Housing Europe)

  * **strategic land policy,**
  * **purposeful investment**
  * **and good governance**".
* Housing 2030 "defines key concepts and policy tools drawn from the experience of over 50 countries. The report zeroes in on **four key areas**:
  * l**and policy and planning strategies**,
  * **funding and financing instruments**,
  * and **good governance and regulation**
  * as well as **environmental and energy standards** for a more sustainable future.
