Architecture & Human Rights: A Book on Urban Thinking

Thematizing different aspects of architecture in the context of human rights.

Every week for the forseeable future until 2050, our cities grow by more than one million people. Contempt for human rights and freedoms, coupled with striking inequalities in living conditions reveal one of the greatest architecture challenges of our time. This book is a collage of narratives, photos, and critical conversations addressing the link between architecture and human rights. It reveals how architects can use human rights as powerful tools for better, fairer urban planning – to create liveable, sustainable cities of the future.
