Features and 2021 panel discussions

Equitable Housing

14:30 London time - 15:30 CET 

The pandemic has thrown a spotlight onto many things and housing is no exception. Suddenly there is a very public debate about how our health is linked to where we live and it’s not just about windows and bedrooms. Housing should be spacious and located within a walkable distance from shops and parks. There is no longer any excuse for overcrowding as we have witnessed what it does to poorer communities. Who is designing or commissioning these projects and is anyone listening to the residents?
