What does home mean to Americans today, particularly after a pandemic that transformed our society's relationship to the built environment? Over the past three years, we have had to redefine our homes, neighborhoods, towns and cities and restructure our lives as shared spaces became cut off.
Now, broad-based issues such as social justice and diversity have come to the forefront of public interest with loud support, and sometimes louder opposition. Housing is where these topics all come together.
Sit down with me, Atif Qadir, a licensed architect turned developer, city planning commissioner, and founder of Commonplace, as we dive into intriguing conversations with housing experts who are stewards of change. Sharing a fresh and unique perspective on the current state of the real estate market, we unpack the latest news and topics related to this evolving industry.
