This dialogue focused on the housing situation in Namibia and South Africa from the point of view of young professionals in the built environment. It explored the opportunities for interventions and the modalities that are available for young professionals to perform in this field. The session concludes with collective reflections and the ways in which contemporary crises – such as COVID-19 – impact the outlook on housing and spatial practice in Southern Africa.

Participants: Natache Sylvia Iilonga (Namibia), Elao Martin (Namibia), Adwoa Agyei (South Africa), Senzo Mamba (South Africa), and Nomalanga Mahlangu (South Africa).
