🎉 Wonderful to see the launch of #GroundControl, the first investigation of the Urban Journalism Network in its new form!

Very happy to continue supporting this blossoming network, an evolution of the award-winning Cities for Rent project, which was organised within the Arena Housing Network.

Who owns the land? And who benefits from it being traded?

We will answer these questions in our new investigative series "Ground Control: Investigating Land ownership in European capitals": www.urbanjournalism.org
