Housing Safety, Trans Rights and The City

In this month’s episode, we are joined by Jenny Preece to dive into the issue of building safety in the context of the recent anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire.

Next, we consider trans rights in the context of Pride month and the impact of the UK’s recent Supreme Court ruling.

Also on our radar: 

• Bunkers and new forms of subterranean exclusion
• Urban festivals
• Touristification and the commodification of cities
• The LA riots and urban stigma
• AI propaganda and AI protest
• Vape fires and the disposable vape ban

Guests:
Dr Jenny Preece is a Lecturer in the School of Geography and Planning at the University of Sheffield. Her research focuses on understanding housing choices and aspirations, particularly in changing contexts and with relevance to issues of constraint and exclusion. I am interested in people's lived experiences of home, and how people experience change, whether in the dwelling itself or the wider neighbourhood.
