Sydney Mechanics School of Arts, Pitt St, CBD
How do YIMBY ("Yes In My Backyard") principles align with left-wing values to create truly equitable cities? How can housing abundance tackle inequality, reduce displacement, and create sustainable communities while challenging property speculation and market failures.
Philippa Scott is a Labor Councillor representing the Leichhardt-Gulgadya Ward on Inner West Council. She is a committed feminist, unionist and Left YIMBY. She cares deeply about ensuring that Sydney and the Inner West remains a vibrant, functional, accessible and fun community for people of all economic backgrounds, abilities and ethnicities.
