Hostile architecture is ugly in more ways than one, and as it’s Homelessness Week 2024, it’s worth looking at how. If there’s homelessness near you, or in the area you work, inevitably you’ll reach a conclusion that something should be done about it.

The renter and landlord who went viral for deceiving their flatmates into covering his or her rent may be at risk of legal repercussions.
