One in every five citizens in the city has bought a share in the company that built and owns their apartment block• Peter Apps is a contributing editor at Inside HousingChildren zoom down a tunnel slide, as their parents watch on, sipping coffees and chatting amicably on the long benches in the middle of the courtyard.They are surrounded by modern-looking housing developments – architecturally smart, medium-rise, expensive-looking in their design. This appears to be just another 21st-century development in a major city, a development that a builder has made a tidy profit out of, and flats that will have inevitably been snapped up by landlords and rented out at the highest market rate.Peter Apps is a contributing editor at Inside Housing and the author of Show Me the Bodies: How We Let Grenfell Happen Continue reading...

4 d. ago Nostalgia loop: it’s time for Sony to get Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield back in their Spidey suits | Ben Child

Even if it ends up another multiversal tangle of familiar faces and recycled heartstrings, a film with the old Spider-Men might be Sony’s best hope of a box office hitIn many ways the entirety of geek culture – certainly as far as the movies are concerned – is built on giving the people what they want. The Flash exhumed Michael Keaton’s Batman, but left him drifting through the end-of-days haze of a dying cinematic universe. Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine returned for one last hurrah in Deadpool & Wolverine, even though we already had his last hurrah in Logan. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness brought back Patrick Stewart’s Professor X for the umpteenth time, then promptly shredded him into psychic confetti.And then there was Spider-Man: No Way Home, a movie that mainly seemed to exist to remind us that the original Sony Spidey films were really rather good in places. Has there ever been a better cinematic Spider-Man villain than Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin? Did any of the M...

2 w. ago Walking the halls of the UN, I felt its power — and its distance from the people it was built to serve | Satara Uthayakumaran

From the Tiwi Islands to Tasmania, from city classrooms to refugee programs, I have listened to thousands of young people. And now I carry those voices with me into the heart of the UNIn its 80th year, the UN headquarters in New York heard speeches that made headlines. One leader thundered threats of war. Another complained about an escalator. Meanwhile, outside the polished floors and gilded halls, children were starving in Palestine. Bombs fell. Borders closed. Budget cuts placed the very architecture of human rights under siege.This was meant to be a landmark gathering, a celebration of 80 years of multilateralism. Instead, it felt like a reckoning. Can the UN still serve the people it was built to protect, or has its promise begun to crack under the weight of politics? Continue reading...
