Alternative

Vancouver is one of the most unaffordable cities in the world. Its
remaining low-income housing stock is under intense pressure, and the
homelessness crisis grows every year.
Right to the City is a two-day conference held in Vancouver, Coast
Salish territory, where residents, organizers, academics, and others
gather to discuss the causes and impacts of gentrification, and identify
strategies and collaborations to halt gentrification and promote
community control.

We encourage all to attend. Hope to see you there!
