Since 2011, The Class of 2020 has set the agenda for the student housing market in European cities, we have connected new and existing operators with universities and regulators and we have committed stakeholders to work together. The industry has evolved. Universities have stepped up their investments in student experience. The private sector has achieved record investment in new forms of housing. Urban concepts such as coliving and coworking have gained traction with a renting generation eager for community and experience. Investment has been made in regenerating hubs to provide the kind of blended live-work-learn communities new generations seek.
The challenges for cities have also evolved. Over the past year, together with our community of partners and collaborators, we have confirmed the urgency of the global housing crisis in major cities. We have highlighted the importance of innovative solutions such as blended living typologies and the industry relevance portrayed by large investment ambitions over the coming years.
