Profile: Dr Sharda Rozena is an urbanist and human geographer. Her research to date has focused on social injustices with respect to housing, facadism, gentrification, and displacement in London. She is currently researching the last regulated tenants and the implications of security of tenure in the UK.

Research interests: Gentrification (urban redevelopment and ‘Airbnbification’), critical geographies of architecture around the Grenfell Tower tragedy (facadism), everyday experiences of housing injustice (slow violence, displacement, un-homing, survivability and creative action), the financialisation of housing (offshore money and elite spaces) and rent control (security of tenure).
