 Access to adequate and secure housing is key to advance people's capabilities to live a dignified and flourishing life. In cities of the global south, continued evictions and lack of affordable and responsive housing initiatives are deepening housing injustices in ways that are making cities more unequal and less resilient. Current dominant models of so-called affordable housing neither respond to the needs and aspirations of the urban poor, nor advanced sustainable urban development. Housing programs on the ground have often reinforced a carbon-intensive urban development pathway, making cities more segregated and intensify vulnerabilities to climate change. At the same time, we have seen the strengthening of local, national and international coalitions calling for other ways of thinking and advancing housing. At the center of this growing housing movement is the promotion of housing as a right and not as a commodity. This approach brings to the forefront the need to stop evictions, carry out participatory in situ upgrading, diversifying tenure arrangements and promoting community-led processes. We know this is not a new agenda as there are already several concrete examples of housing practices that are inclusive and sustainable while achieving scale. However, we need at the moment more emphasis in making policy and planning processes more open and supportive to advance the right to adequate and secure housing. And it is with that in mind that we at IID are spending our energy on improving the conditions to advance housing justice in cities of the Global South. This means doing research and advocacy activities that one, support collective mobilizations, two, influence housing policy formulations, and three, promote participatory and community-led methodologies to deliver and manage housing initiatives. By doing this, we hope to position this housing agenda within a wider set of struggles for democratization of urban governance and to build urban resilience. One of our partners in advancing this agenda is União dos Movimentos de Moradia, a Brazilian housing social movement. We had the first contacts with a group of human patients from the International Institute of the Environment and Development of Homes, IID. I would like to say that it is important that this partnership has existed for União, in the sense that we discussed agenda that are common, agenda that are fundamental for the struggle for the right to housing and the right to the city in the whole world. First of all, it is important to have the coincidence of these agencies, these are the agendas, these are the points that we discussed and we worked together with the construction of local power, the development of communities, the development of the potentialities of the communities that are organized to fight for their rights, the water, the environment, a dignified housing, the dignified conditions of life. Also, the struggle against despises, another aspect that is super important at this moment in the pandemic, but still where housing ended up being a great refuge for us to be able to protect ourselves against coronavirus. So these agendas are very important, and this partnership has been done by us that we discuss many interesting topics and exchange experiences with other countries too, from Latin America, from Africa, Asia, where we also have a popular organization that does this struggle. So the importance of us discussing communication strategies, resistance strategies, fighting strategies, the different movements, looking for what we can build a southern exchange, where we have more capacity, more effort to fight. At this moment in the pandemic, these partnerships have been very interesting, very important, and have revived more and more in us the disposition of struggle. So we want to wish that this partnership has a long life, that we can continue for a long time, making intercambos continue to discuss the main agendas, the movements that fight for a dignified housing, a dignified life for all and all.
