Legislating Architecture. Episode 2: The Property Drama
Committed activists, architects, and commentators stand in opposition to neoliberal positions. Property speculation not only displaces long-time residents and urban life, but also throws into question the civilizational model of the city itself.
Cut like the showdown in an old Western, the film promotes viewers and advocates for political control of land.
