This conference talk will elaborate on current opportunities and challenges for land policy in Germany and particularly in Munich. While Munich's housing situation can be characterized by a strong demand surplus and high rental and purchase prices, resulting in high costs of living, it also has a strong tradition in innovative thinking and action with regard to social land policies. The panel will evaluate the current situation and potential ways ahead in terms of policy and research.
