Have you seen our latest report? 

After stops along the West Coast and in the Southeast, the  NCH Local Power Tour saw how destructive and dehumanizing Hostile Architecture has become in our communities. In response, NCH released Design Against Humanity, exploring examples of, and alternatives to, architectural elements that are designed to limit access or use of public space.
