Article 2 - Objective of Whatt
The trilingual website www.whatt.eu deals with housing supply in the Brussels-Capital Region, and more specifically with the imbalance between demand and supply of affordable, comfortable housing. Several themes related to housing and real estate development in general are addressed. In addition, a concrete solution is proposed that should help to redress the imbalance between housing supply and demand.
The website is intended to come into contact with the general public: private individuals as well as companies and other organisations. Interested parties can register to become part of a super-diverse network that aims to broaden and renew the supply of decent and affordable housing. In a second phase, a cooperative company may emerge from this, as described on the web page https://www.whatt.eu/en/how.
