To boost common approach on innovative residential housing in the Mediterranean.

The initiative seeks to improve the competitiveness of innovative models for residential housing that respond to common enviromental challenges while promoting a Mediterranean identity.

Facing common climate change threats, water scarcity and the implications of unsustainable and precarious construction, Med regions have developed its particular strategies to promote sustainable housing, without promoting a Mediterranean common approach on the field of sustainable residential housing.

Thus, the specifics objectives that the project aims to achieve are to facilitate the development of common guidelines and harmonised policy approach to labelling, which encourages the use of environmentally responsible models of residential housing, as well as, to develop market opportunities for SMEs in this field.
