Summary:

Every week for the forseeable future until 2015, our cities grow by more than one million people. Contempt for human rights and freedoms, coupled with striking inequalities in living conditions, reveal one of the greatest architecture challenges of our time. This book is a collage of portraits, narratives, photos and critical conversations addressing the link between architecture and human rights. It reveals how architects can use human rights as powerful tools for better, fairer urban planning to create liveable, sustainable cities of the future.
