Zadnja večja anketa o kakovosti stanovanj iz leta 20051 je pokazala, da je Slovenija na repu evropskih stanovanjskih standardov. Povprečno slovensko stanovanje je veliko le 78,6 m2, kar ga uvršča na zadnje mesto. Še vedno je 56,4% eno- do štiristanovanjskih hiš in le 12,6% je višjih od petih nadstropij. To se odraža v naših mestih, za katera trend naraščajoče suburbanizacije napoveduje nadaljnjo širitev. Več kot polovica meščanov, ki namerava v prihodnjih petih letih zamenjati stanovanje, se bo zaradi slabih bivalnih pogojev v mestih preselila na obrobje.
