Exhibition area Flexible Housing

The new Flexible Housing - Opportunities next door exhibition area in Hall B3 at EXPO REAL is dedicated to future-oriented living concepts, new forms of urban flexibility, and interdisciplinary exchange between project developers, investors, municipalities, architects, and political decision-makers.

Rethinking Living Space with Flexibility

The residential real estate industry is under pressure—demographic change, changing lifestyles, migration, resource scarcity, and urbanization are presenting planners and cities alike with complex challenges.

With the new exhibition area Flexible Housing – Opportunities next door, we are opening up an innovative space for thinking and designing: here, living space is no longer understood as a mere structural unit, but as a social, ecological, and economic platform that offers a wide range of opportunities for a sustainable and livable future. Discover solutions that respond flexibly to social developments – and experience how living space can become a driver of urban transformation.

The exhibition presents forward-looking living concepts, while experts from politics, business, planning, and research provide important insights on stage.

Flexible Housing exhibition area

The Flexible Housing exhibition bridges the gap between the pressing issue of housing and creative solutions, presenting sustainable living models, best-practice construction projects, and transformative strategies.

The centerpiece of the stand concept is an iconic design element: the door. It symbolizes what "flexible housing" is all about—openness, movement, access, and new perspectives. As a central visual element, it shapes the entire exhibition architecture and becomes a unifying symbol for the potential of flexible living.

The exhibition will be accompanied by lectures and panel discussions on the Flexible Housing Stage.

The exhibition's hashtags serve as a curatorial compass: they structure the diverse content into thematic focal points, highlight key trends, and offer visitors guidance in the discourse on sustainable living.
