Social Housing Cities is an exploration of housing, urban culture and municipal action in cities around the world.
Initiated by Karakusevic Carson Architects in 2025, this rolling research project is a collaborative global initiative that brings together researchers and practitioners to posit ways in which to reclaim a positive vision for the future of affordable housing and equitable approaches to urban change.
Through comparative place analysis, story telling and best practice Social Housing Cities champions quality design, progressive policy making and visionary city leadership around the world to encourage more and better housing and ambitious urban planning and design.
The project’s core cities presently include: London, Barcelona, Paris, Vienna, Amsterdam, New York, San Francisco, Toronto, Sydney and Melbourne.
Social Housing Cities builds upon and expands research and advocacy developed by the studio over the last ten years through a number of key publications, including:
- Public Housing Works
