The IIED (International Institute for Environment and Development https://www.iied.org/), a HIC Member in the United Kingdom, has launched a last issue paper in English “Towards housing justice. Four propositions to transform policy and practice” (Camila Cociña, Alexandre Apsan Frediani – HIC Board Member for Europe)
Issue paper – 24 pages.
The current global housing crisis is sustained by housing systems that do not respond to the reality of the world’s majority. This paper discusses how addressing this crisis through a ‘housing justice’ lens can open up areas of intervention and transformation for policy and practice that can contest unfair and unsustainable housing systems.
It presents four propositions for a justice lens:
- Anti-discriminatory housing policy and practice
- Radically democratic forms of housing production
- Housing as an infrastructure for better cities, and
- Expanded visions for housing futures.
