Description

Author & Nonprofit Executive Diana Lind joins Housing Insiders to talk about her journey from architecture and design writer to housing policy expert. Diana is the Philadelphia Program Officer of the Asset Funders Network and the founder and author of The New Urban Order Substack. Her most recent book is Brave New Home: Our Future in Smarter, Simpler, Happier Housing (2020). On the show, Diana unpacks how our housing ideals shifted from communal and multi-generational living to today’s obsession with single-family homes—and why walkable neighborhoods and flexible options remain so scarce despite high demand. Take a listen to Diana’s sharp insights into what’s broken, what’s evolving, and what the next era of American housing might look like.
