In Cape Town, the Black housing movement Reclaim the City has built a movement that is successfully desegregating the city by creating affordable housing in the inner-city.

As they have built this movement, they developed Advice Assemblies, learning from a sister housing movement in Barcelona.

This podcast shares the story of this extraordinary movement – including how it used listening to create space for people threatened with eviction to become leaders.

You can read more about Reclaim the City in Chapter 6 of People Power in Cities (written by Amanda Tattersall and Kurt Iveson).
