Envisioning Social and Public Housing Futures

Today housing insecurity is a generalized phenomenon, driving forward policy solutions under the guise of housing for all. As many look towards the future, they’ve looked past the fight to preserve public housing in growing favor of so-called “social housing” policy solutions. This half-day mini-conference will kick off with a conversation led by tenants leading the fight to preserve public housing in New York City. After they share their analysis of the current housing climate in NYC, an international panel of housing researchers will share comparative research and perspectives on public and social housing across cities in the US, the UK, Europe, Brazil and Canada.

Speakers: Raquel Rolnik, Glyn Robbins, Christina Chase, Kristen Hackett, and Jaime Jover, joined by tenant organizers.

This event was organized and co-sponsored by the Center for Place, Culture and Politics at the CUNY Graduate Center, The People’s Forum, and Gittel Collective.
