Today @daringcities talk on local sustainable #buildingmaterials: there is no vernacular architecture in cities because people have no space for it. #Affordablehousing is also #land access. We need to achieve affordable cities that provide access to all services. 👉A. Jachnow/IHS

If we don’t measure our progress - we don’t care! But in our region Central America and the Caribbean Island are struggling w. data gathering. We need to overcome this gap.Need for spatial data for us to be able to do informed forward planning. @cepal_onu@aliciabarcena#HLPF18
