Audrea Lim is the author of Free the Land: How We Can Fight Poverty and Climate Chaos.
The issues of climate change, gentrification, racial inequity, and corporate greed are often treated as unrelated issues, but Audrea argues that they all share a common root: the commodification of land. She not only looks at how the American system of private property ownership has been destructive, but also explores alternatives. Some of these include looking back to original Indigenous practices around land management and stewardship, while others look at models like community land trusts, public housing, and public parks.
Audrea’s work looks at rural solutions in places like the Canadian tar sands as well as urban solutions in cities like New York and Minneapolis.
