Meeting on Inclusive Habitat for all

Last Tuesday, August 25th our colleague Andrés Labella participated in the meeting on “Inclusive Habitat for all: kids, elderly people and people with disabilities” organized by the Coordinator “We Are the city Who we Inhabit it” in the framework of the campaign “Urban Environmental Plan from citizenship and for the Common Good”. Different issues related to the right to the city, such as the accessibility of public space, were addressed, and contributions were made in relation to the diversity of forms of housing tenure and mutual support networks provided for in Catalan law.
