making the case for squatters …


Robert Neuwirth, author of Shadow Cities: a billion squatters, a new urban world, will speak in San Diego on Friday, November 17, 2006. He will appear at San Diego State University’s Little Theater (161 Hepner Hall.)

Neuwirth, who spent two years living in shantytowns around the world to learn about the squatter reality, makes the controversial argument that squatting is a legitimate form of urban development. His work on squatters won an award from the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
