Addressing Homelessness through Disaster Discourses: The Role of Social Capital and Innovation in Building Urban Resilience and Addressing Homelessness

摘要

Natural disasters and homelessness are two urban pathogenswitnessed in most large cities. While at first glance they may be seen as two separate policy domains, they can also be interlinked. A conceptual analysis of this inter-linkage is necessary before we start imagining and giving shape to holistic approaches to address them. This think piece focuses on the notion of resilience-building through social networking and innovation, especially when initiated by adopting housing-led initiatives.
