Homelessness-the state of having no home-is a growing global problem that requires local
discussions and solutions. In the face of the coronavirus pandemic  it has noticeably become a
collective concern. However  in recent years  the official political discourse in many
countries around the world implies that poverty is a personal fault  and that if people
experience homelessness  it is because they have not tried hard enough to secure shelter and
livelihood. Although architecture alone cannot solve the problem of homelessness  the question
arises: What and which roles can it play? Or  to be more precise  how can architecture
collaborate with other disciplines in developing ways to permanently house those who do not
have a home? Who's Next? Homelessness  Architecture  and Cities seeks to explore and understand
a reality that involves the expertise of national  regional  and city agencies  nongovernmental
organizations  health-care fields  and academic disciplines. Through scholarly essays 
interviews  analyses of architectural case studies  and research on the historical and current
situation in Los Angeles  Moscow  Mumbai  New York  São Paulo  San Francisco  Shanghai  and
Tokyo  this book unfolds different entry points toward understanding homelessness and some of
the many related problems. The book is a polyphonic attempt to break down this topic into as
many parts as needed  so that the specificities and complexities of one of the most urgent
crises of our time rise to the fore.
