199: How design and law exclude homelessness from urban spaces?

Written By Marcin Wojciech Żebrowski

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
