Public Housing in Japan: The Dōjunkai Apartments One Hundred Years On (Brill, 2026) is the first comprehensive English-language examination of the Dōjunkai Foundation (1924-2024). Compiled and edited by Dr. Marco Pompili through interviews and studies, it is a must-read for anyone interested in modern Japanese architecture. The Dōjunkai Apartments (1924-1934), the Foundation's best-known work, introduced apartment living to Japan in response to crucial historical and social challenges such as urban reconstruction after the devastating earthquake of 1923 and the emergence of new working and middle classes. The book's texts, by prominent scholars and architects, as well as a series of original drawings and photographs from the period, bring the work of the Dōjunkai Foundation back to life 100 years after its founding. While the Dōjunkai Apartments have unfortunately been lost in the rapid changes and greedy redevelopment typical of Japanese metropolises, this book seeks to contribute to the preservation of their memory and their significance.

Residents of Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority properties have been living in these conditions for decades — and the people in charge have largely looked the other way.In this episode of The Public Good, host Dejia James of Partnership for the Public Good (PPG) is joined by community activist Nate Boyd and organizer John Washington, co-founder of the National Tenant Union Federation, for a candid and powerful conversation on the ongoing crisis inside BMHA public housing.

A housing development in north Minneapolis was meant to be a better model for public housing. Heritage Park opened in the early 2000s after a legal settlement over housing segregation. It's a mix of market-rate and subsidized units. Today, many of its units sit vacant. And residents and city leaders say neglected maintenance has caused roof leaks, mold and other problems. City Council member Pearll Warren represents the area. She recently toured a few vacant units. And she led a request from the city council for an audit of how public funds were used on the property. City Council member Pearll Warren joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to talk about what she saw at Heritage Park.

How do you build a life of greatness when your starting point doesn't look like opportunity at all?In this episode, Sarah Grynberg sits down with one of Hollywood's most respected producers, Bruna Papandrea, to explore the journey from growing up in a low socioeconomic household in South Australia to producing some of the most iconic films and television series of our time, including Big Little Lies, Gone Girl and Wild.Together, they unpack the moments that shaped Bruna's path, from the teachers who gave her confidence, to the heartbreak and curiosity that led her across the world, and the pivotal opportunities that changed everything. This is a deeply honest conversation about resilience, creative risk-taking, motherhood, health, and what it really means to pursue meaningful work in an unpredictable industry.You'll learn:Why you cannot change other people's story, only your ownHow curiosity, setbacks, and even heartbreak can shape your career pathThe power of teachers, mentorship, and confidence in defining your futureWhat it takes to build a global career while balancing family and healthWhy criticism and reviews don't define the value of your workThis episode is a reminder that greatness isn't linear. It's built through small decisions, unexpected turns, and the courage to keep going. Bruna's story shows that where you begin does not determine where you can go, and that success is often found in the moments you didn't plan for.This episode of A Life of Greatness is brought to you by The Beauty Chef, a pioneer in the world of gut health and inner beauty.Founded on the belief that true wellbeing starts within, The Beauty Chef creates bio-fermented, probiotic-rich formulas designed to support your gut, skin, and overall vitality.

REWIND FROM THE ARCHIVES: Lynne Martine Patton, a Trump aid and federal housing official responsible for the New York City region, said she'd move out of Trump Plaza and into public housing to bring attention to "inhuman conditions." In this 2018 commentary from Laura Flanders, she proposes an alternative to Patton's stunt and Trump's pro-privatization agenda.Fast forward to today, check out this week's podcast on the Trump Administration and HUD: Title:  "Cuts, Shutdowns & Civil Rights Attacks: Federal Workers Fight Back" [episode cut & full uncut conversation]About 750,000 people are on unpaid leave as the U.S. government shutdown continues —  but some of the most caring parts of the government's work have been shut down for months. Civil rights attorneys Palmer Heenan and Paul Osadebe recently signed a shocking complaint letter describing chaos within the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which is responsible for protecting fair housing.“No one is asking for a leg up or an extra hand or whatever the case might be. We're just asking to get rid of discrimination. And so I hope the future will tell the story of people doing just that, coming together, going to Congress and saying, ‘These are our rights. You passed them into law decades ago. Fight for the rights that we have now.'” - Palmer Heenan“The thing that will actually get us through this is solidarity, recognizing what potential power we have as federal workers . . . [The administration wants] to create fear, which leads to silence, which lets things be dismantled without anyone standing up and fighting and saying, ‘This is illegal, this is wrong and this is harming people.' It's up to federal workers, the ones in the building, to actually do that.” - Paul OsadebeGuests:• Palmer Heenan: Attorney, HUD Whistleblower; Member, AFGE 476• Paul Osadebe: Attorney, HUD Whistleblower; Steward, AFGE 476 Watch the special report on YouTube; PBS World Channel Sundays 11:30am ET, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Howard Husock joins Stephen Eide to discuss his new book, The Projects: A New History of Public Housing.

In the 1930s, New Deal-era technocrats devised a solution to homelessness and poverty itself. They believed that providing free or low-cost urban housing projects could completely eliminate housing scarcity. Planners envisioned urban communities that would propel their residents into the middle class, creating a flywheel of abundance where poverty was eradicated. However, once construction began after World War II, these projects quickly became dangerous, poorly maintained slums, serving as breeding grounds for crime and decay. By the 1970s, crime rates were so high that levels of violence rivaled those of war zones in Sub-Saharan Africa. What happened? Why did so many of the best and brightest who promoted housing projects—like First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt or city planner Robert Moses—create one of the worst government debacles of the 20th century? Why didn’t they foresee that housing projects would become hotbeds of crime, completely destroying the social fabric of the neighborhoods they aimed to help? Today’s guest is Howard Husock, author of “The Projects: A New History of Public Housing.” He explains how we got here, detailing the tragic rise and fall of public housing and the pitfalls of other subsidy programs. He takes us inside a progressive movement led by a group of New York City philanthropists, politicians, and business magnates who first championed public housing as a solution to urban blight. We explore everything that went wrong and what can be done to avoid these same mistakes in the future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
