**This event takes place in the framework of the urgent exhibition for a right to housing
**
When looking at today’s urban production, inequalities are everywhere. As cities around the world transform at a rapid pace, affordability is strangled, communities are displaced and dwellings demolished allowing private investors to polish their real estate portfolios. With luxury developments looming, there are hardly any resources left for responsive reuse of our buildings, sensitive urban development and alternative forms of housing.
What would the city look like if a different kind of economy thrived? What futures would be possible under frameworks that put caring first? What sort of (urban and architectural) activism is imaginable to shape a city for the 99%?
In a game session of Care and Riots, we as students, academics, architects, planners, and simply as residents become active co-creators of our futures. Through a playful approach, we aim to understand frictions in the urban economic system we live in, discuss frictions of spatial production, and explore alternative forms of decision making for social justice.
