Housing is never just one thing: a fundamental human need, a critical resource, a pillar of urban economies, and a claimed human or social right. The radical claims through housing struggles illuminate new facets of the ongoing crisis while functioning as meaning-making practices in their own right.

Homelessness is often framed as a social problem demanding state intervention and welfare provision. But what if homelessness is also socially constructed, shaped by historically and spatially specific narratives about who belongs where? 🔗 radicalhousingjournal.org/2026/the-dis...
Based on ethnographic-inspired research in Belo Horizonte's metropolitan periphery, this #longread moves beyond formal/informal binaries to show how real estate shifts between formality and informality, adapting to families' changing social reproduction. 🔗 radicalhousingjournal.org/2026/transit...
