Rights and freedoms

What makes a city a city and not just a collection of buildings? Without a doubt, the people who live in it. Real estate speculation has sent cities into a destructive spiral where residents are pushed out. In this session, we'll discuss the emergence of movements that defend the right to housing and municipalist policies that can help to save cities.
