One year on from the devastating fire at Grenfell Tower, a panel gathers to reflect on what it exposed about the social and economic state of the nation, and how to secure safety and justice for everyone.
In an area home to some of the country’s richest and poorest people side by side, where average incomes can drop ten times across a street, Grenfell has come to be seen as a microcosm not just of the broken housing market, but of how poverty and voicelessness meet to compound inequality. The number of people subject to poor living conditions, intersecting wealth, race, and class inequality, and poor civic representation indicates deep injustice in how our society is structured – how can these conditions be dismantled?
