#UnequalCities Public Debates
Members of the Network are regularly asked to reflect on the most necessary, pressing, and timely issues in regards to housing in public forums.
COVID-19 Digital Repository
The outbreak of COVID-19 has created an unprecedented housing, public health, and socioeconomic crisis that demands critical, innovative, and timely solutions. The Housing Justice in Unequal Cities network has created this repository where legal, political, and public health arguments – ones that have been carefully, critically, and thoroughly thought out – can be shared for wider distribution, consumption, and use.
