BK Talks: 7 Billion at Home; Housing in a Fully Urbanised Planet (live from the Venice Biennale)

Description

Where is home? What is home? The answer to this apparently simple question is an existential struggle to millions of people who remain excluded from one of the main achievements of the so-called civilized world: the right to housing. Most of those disallowed from such basic human right live in low and middle-income countries, and their number is doomed to increase over the next three decades. With an estimate growth of 2 billion new urbanites by 2050, more than 500 million new dwelling units need to be provided in cities – mostly in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Evidently, this process will have a great economic, social and environmental impact in the life of humans, non-humans, the built and the natural environment.
