    Water and housing insecurities in Europe and the USA

    Wed 28 Aug 2024 – Fri 30 Aug 2024

    Organizers: Katie Meehan | Lucia Cerrada Morato | Lucy Everitt

    In the wake of the global financial crisis of 2008, residents in postcrisis countries are living in precarious housing situations without secure or reliable access to basic services—including safe drinking water and sanitation. For the 2024 Annual Conference of the RGS-IBG in London, we organized two sessions (a paper session and a World Café) to bring together cutting-edge research on the housing-water nexus in high-income countries.
