Abstract_ Natural disasters and homelessness are two urban pathogens
witnessed in most large cities. While at first glance they may be seen as two
separate policy domains, they can also be interlinked. A conceptual analysis
of this inter-linkage is necessary before we start imagining and giving shape
to holistic approaches to address them. This think piece focuses on the notion
of resilience-building through social networking and innovation, especially
when initiated by adopting housing-led initiatives.
