199: How design and law exclude homelessness from urban spaces? (guest: Pia Justesen)

Welcome to the episode 199!: How design and law exclude homelessness from urban spaces? 🤔

Together with Pia Justesen – writer and human rights lawyer, we discuss The Exclusionary City — a research project and exhibition that explores how both law and design exclude homeless people from urban spaces. This phenomenon is also known as dark design.

We explore:

✅ Lack of safety in urban spaces

✅ Exclusionary design: Hard and soft

✅ Criminalization: Laws that criminalize poverty, homelessness, and begging.

✅ Is Copenhagen homlessness-friendly?

✅ Good examples from other cities

✅ Way forward: Homeless Bill of Rights

You can listen to this episode on all streaming platforms.
