Mass migration to cities has led to rapid urbanisation on an unprecedented scale  while the withdrawal of public funding from social housing provision in Western countries  and widening income inequality  have further compounded the situation. In prosperous US and European cities  middle- and low-income residents are being pushed out of housing markets increasingly dominated by luxury investors. The average London tenant  for example  now pays an unaffordable 49 per cent of his or her pre-tax income in rent. Parts of the developing world and areas of forced migration are experiencing insufficient affordable housing stock coupled with rapidly shifting ways of life. In response to this context  forward-thinking architects are taking the lead with a collaborative approach. By partnering with allied fields  working with residents  developing new forms of housing  and leveraging new funding systems and policies  they are providing strategic leadership for what many consider to be our cities most pressing crisis. Amidst growing economic and health disparities  this issue of AD asks how housing projects  and the design processes behind them  might be interventions towards greater social equity  and how collaborative work in housing might reposition the architectural profession at large.
