  will be drawing on her recent book\, &lsquo\;Where the Other Half Lives
 : lower income housing in a neoliberal world&rsquo\;\, to analyse the im
 pact of three decades of neoliberal economic policies that have regarded
  houses not primarily as homes for living in\, but rather as a source of
  profit.&nbsp\;<br />________________________________________&nbsp\;<br 
 />&nbsp\;<br />From Hackney to Hammersmith\, tenants and activists have 
 been fighting a prolonged battle against what has become a persistent as
 sault on the housing and housing standards of those on below average inc
 omes. For that battle to have any chance of success it is important to k
 now what we are up against.&nbsp\;<br /><br />In this talk\, Sarah Glynn
  will be drawing on her recent book\, &lsquo\;Where the Other Half Lives
 : lower income housing in a neoliberal world&rsquo\;\, to analyse the im
 pact of three decades of neoliberal economic policies that have regarded
  houses not primarily as homes for living in\, but rather as a source of
  profit. And she will look at how this has resulted in crippling persona
 l debt\, rundown social housing\, homelessness\, mass demolition\, unaff
 ordability and now economic crisis.&nbsp\;<br /><br />Sarah is a campaig
 ner as well as an academic and architect\, and her interest in understan
 ding what is happening is in order to provide the tools to change it. He
 r book looks beyond the impact of current top-down policies to examine g
 rass-roots campaigns for better housing and explore possibilities for a 
 different approach to this most fundamental of human needs.&nbsp\;<br />
