33: Neighbourhood Defenders
Manage episode 400741396 series 3367242
Today, we welcome Dr. Katherine Einstein, Dr. David Glick, and Dr. Maxwell Palmer from Boston University. We discuss their book: Neighbourhood Defenders: Participatory Politics and America’s Housing Crisis; published in 2019. The book is premised on how local political inequalities can end up limiting the housing supply and contribute to the current housing crisis. Participatory institutions like local neighbourhood committees often notify neighbours themselves and solicit comments on proposed housing developments, taking an active role for better or worse.
