Access to care and community has long been largely reliant on or linked to having a nuclear family, and there’s plenty of evidence to show how the expectation to do so impacts housing, policy, healthcare. So what happens when you don’t?
In the run up to International Women’s Day, we’ll be joined by a panel of urbanists to examine how the built environment does or doesn’t enable independence as more women break free of historic expectations to live in service of a husband, children, and household.
From co-housing to blue zones, join us to discuss an urban equilibrium whereby an affordable, healthy, social life is available for all.
