Focus of the session
This session will showcase socially just retrofitting and urban renovation projects that are co-produced with tenants and residents, while critically examining the environmental and climate impacts of demolition versus rehabilitation.
The dialogue will explore how co-production can support a just transition, reduce environmental harm, and advance housing justice, particularly for communities most affected by climate change and housing precarity.
