About

This book launch explores how Greek state housing policy emerged through successive crises: the 1922 refugee crisis, the 2008 economic meltdown, and the 2014 refugee influx. Author Maria Kouvari presents her critical examination of how migration, warfare, natural disasters, and economic emergencies shaped ad hoc housing interventions over a century. The event includes commentary from Marie Glaser and Georg Precht, with a response from Britta Henschel. Held in English.
