American Elevators Are 3x as Expensive as European Elevators: Implications for the Building Industry and the High Cost of Housing

The United States and Canada have the most expensive elevators in the world, at roughly three times the cost of elevators in Western Europe, and fewer of them than any other high-income country examined. In this webinar, we look at the regulatory reasons behind our high costs and low availability, from codes and standards to labor.
