Winter is Coming: A Housing Justice Podcast - Ep 18: Why can’t big tech companies fix housing? With David Alton

Why can’t big tech companies fix housing?

As we kick off season 3 Adam is joined by David Alton of Social Development Centre of Waterloo region. In Part 1 of our 2-part conversation, David shares their experiences as a facilitator of lived expertise for SDCC going from working on housing in a city like Toronto with the backing of Google, to transitioning to grassroots work and emphasizing community dialogue and lived expertise. David shares their insight on what the wealth of a big tech company can’t do and why corporate, top-down approaches won’t work without real community engagement.
