Themes:
This event is part of a global series of conferences and publications that critique multiple built environment issues. The connecting theme is housing.
In this event series, housing can be dealt with head on as its own subject, with a multitude of problems. However, it can also be seen as a thematic topic allowing us to explore how the built environment functions as a
complex and interconnected phenomenon directly linked to urban design and planning, as well as other issues such as community resilience, economic development, planning policy, creative design practice, etc.
