“Racial equity and climate justice are two sides of the same coin. But hope is a powerful currency. To be hopeful is to be human. At a deeply personal level, I owe my presence at this table today to the tireless demands for a more just, more inclusive and more equitable fought for by generations before me. The vision of a modern, diverse, and inclusive society is seductive and persuasive, but as long as it remains an image, it is a mirage. Something more than representation is needed, and architects historically are key players in translating images into reality. ”

Architects Against Housing Alienation (AAHA) presents 10 C/A/N/A/D/A teams of architects, activists and advocates to generate a campaign to produce socially, environmentally and ethically sustainable housing for all. NOT FOR SALE!
L’OEUF Architectes, with Bâtir son quartier and the CEUM, proposes a reflection on the function of living in its entirety. It includes everything that surrounds housing and develops the fundamental ambient urban ecosystems as a basis for equity and universal access to the quality of life required to live fully together. Concretely, they are defined as holistic urban systems related to population density, public space, mobility networks, commercial complexity, green space, metabolics, social cohesion and governance providing services to all.
Thus we demand a vision and participatory process for housing development that supports ambient urban ecosystems as a permanently accessible commons necessary for social housing.
