ACT-ING to change future housing

What I would tell My Architect: Constructive Insights from Public Housing?

If we are destined to Recycle & Retrofit Housing, what paid opportunities must be built into these processes for Resident Input?

This is a unique opportunity for Residents to discuss their rarely sought visions of the future of housing.

It is somewhat ironic that despite Housing Crisis being a hot topic, at present, resident there are so few ‘safe spaces’, at which residents can contribute to this debate?

Finally, what practical solutions, support and initiatives being tested, which give us a window into our housing future?

Special effort is being made to enable space for Young People’s input, at the heart of this disunion, as they will be the ones to whom we will be ‘passing the baton’.
