UPCOMING EVENTS

After being ignored for a long time, the lack of affordable, social housing in the Netherlands has become ubiquitous. In the current debate, most of the attention is focused on numbers: too few homes are being built compared to what is should be needed. High construction costs are used as an argument to make social housing seem like an unprofitable investment. Moreover, there is a maze of rules that people have to navigate to qualify for social housing. This narrowing perspective on numbers and regulations, overlooks something important: the resident and the experience of habitation itself. As a result, many (young) people do not even consider living in a social project. Not only is social housing discouragingly scarce, it also suffers a negative imago. In this series we discuss these issues from different perspectives. What do decent spatial floor plans look like? What should be meant by the word “social”  mean? And why do we know so little about alternatives to home ownership?

Over the next century we will face several climate crises that might force millions of people to leave their homes. The third in a series of three evenings about geopolitics, climate migration and the potentialities of space. During the evening we examine the intersections between climate justice and migration.
