For those of us who have grown up in India, we were introduced to the concept of segregation and apartheid very early on as we were taught about the discrimination Gandhi faced while living in South Africa and how that marked the beginning of the independence movement in India. In this episode, we speak to Adi Kumar about the history of apartheid in South Africa and how those land policies continue to affect the supply of affordable housing in Cape Town today.
Adi Kumar is a trained architect and seasoned land and housing activist. Over the last two decades, Adi has been leadership positions in several civil society organisations working across the globe in India, Southern Africa, Lebanon and United States on development programmes. He is former Loeb Fellow at Harvard University.
