In view of the ongoing climate crisis, can humanity sacrifice agricultural space for the expansion of settlement areas? This is the paradoxical question that arises in the face of urbanisation: Because on the one hand, housing estates around the world are gobbling up thousands of hectares of farmland on the periphery of growing cities. On the other hand, housing is a human right. This publication examines these complex interrelationships. Following On Architecture and Greenwashing (2024), this is the second volume in the series The Political Economy of Space. It presents a cross-section of positions on architecture and its political economy from different perspectives.
