We are thrilled to welcome renowned urbanist and activist Prof. Miguel Robles-Durán for a conversation on housing and urban justice. A leading voice in the global struggle against spatial inequality, Prof. Robles-Durán will share insights from his practice in urban theory, design, and activism. In this briefing, he will explore the systemic forces driving displacement, privatization, and urban injustice—and the collective strategies communities are using worldwide to reclaim their right to the city.

“Before Hammonton’s Call to Collaboration, I did not know that I was surrounded by people who, despite our differences, care about the same issues: the safety of our town, the well-being of our families, the opportunity to contribute to our community, etc. Knowing that there were other like-minded people in my community gave me the courage to act.”
