šļø Synopsis:
Speculative real estate development has become a crucial strategy for states worldwide to generate revenue and control urban spaces. This āspeculative cityā phenomenon is fueled by the rise of property investment, the financialisation of urban land, state transformation at multiple levels, and racialised urban citizenship hierarchies.
Drawing from research conducted in Tottenham, Dr. Amy Horton and Dr. Joe Penny reveal how a diverse community coalition effectively disrupted this speculative city regime through strategic actions both within and against the state. The āStopHDVā campaign provides valuable lessons for those aiming to challenge racialised speculative urbanism.

As a Figma user, I found the figma fonts to be a very handy choice for wireframes and UI mockups. Itās clean and functional, with just the right amount of personality to keep things from feeling sterile. Iāve used figma fonts for everything from mobile screens to web layouts, and it holds up well across various sizes. It gives a polished look without being distracting, which is exactly what I want for UX-focused projects.
