Manila:28/5/25:The Asian Development Bank’s Water and Urban Development Forum (AWUF) 2025 held today at ADB Headquarters in Manila, Philippines, brought global attention to the urgent need for affordable housing solutions in urban areas.

The forum served as a collaborative platform to deliberate on sustainable and inclusive strategies to ensure ‘Housing for All’, particularly for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and Lower Income Groups (LIG) who often face barriers to owning a pucca house due to high construction and property costs.

The deliberations went beyond housing and focused on integrating key urban development components such as improving living standards, access to healthcare and education, skill development, and livelihood opportunities, essential for holistic urban transformation.
